Netflix is also a good deal for something to keep your mind busy provided you have two screens. I've got dual monitors so it makes leveling crafting/gathering really easy.
In terms of leveling stuff to make other things easier, Goldsmith is probably the best to do first imo to get flawless synth. Having something that's just straight +40 on progress means you can 1 button a ton of stuff early on and breeze through. Besides that the only other notable thing from it is the +50% control which is just for HQing stuff.
I did GSM first and don't regret it, really. Not to mention making your own accessories for spirit binding is fantastic income and really helps get your next class choice kick started.
