What do I do when I get home, you ask?

  1. Draw a dinosaur (11)
  2. Read about an elite person (10)
  3. Look at something that is written (10)
  4. Learn about navy officers (8)
  5. Take things back (7)
  6. Work out a secret plan (8)
  7. Watch from the side (9)

Well, maybe it is a little bit distorted...

What do I actually do when i'm at home?


Hint:

What do all words have in common?

  • $\begingroup$ My apologies for my edit. I thought QuantumTwinkie's answer was the accepted one, but I was terribly mistaken; anagram therefore does not belong in this question. So sorry for that. I have taken it out. $\endgroup$

  1. Draw a dinosaur (11)

    triceratops

  2. Read about an elite person (10)

    aristocrat

  3. Look at something that is written (10)

    transcript

  4. Learn about navy officers (8)

    captains

  5. Take things back (7)

    retract

  6. Work out a secret plan (8)

    conspire

  7. Watch from the side (9)

If we

take the shortest word with subsequences that anagram to each of these words,

we find that at home you

procrastinate.

These have to do with anagrams of steal, teals, slate, tales, least, and slate.

Draw a dinosaur

On a slate

Read about an elite person

Tesla

Look at something that is written

You may read tales.

Learn about navy officers

Teals, because navy is teal.

Take things back

Steal

Work out a secret plan

?

Watch from the side

?

But

I have least and stale left.
