How I Waste My Time

Sometimes I wonder just how much more stuff I would get done if I didn't waste so much time.

And I do waste a lot of it! Hours. Every day. Facebook, Twitter, stalking my favourite bands and authors all over the net... the list goes on. Just imagine how much more stuff I could get done if I didn't waste so much time on all this stuff! It's pointless. It's a waste of time. It's totally not worth it.

Facebook. Oh, if I knew just how many hours I have wasted on this site... I'm sure I spend at least an hour or two on Facebook every day. Multiply that by the hundred or so days I've had it, that's like 150-200 hours! Just imagine HOW MUCH other stuff I could have achieved, stuff that had a point, if I never went on Facebook!

It's not just normal Facebook, either. No. Once I've finished with Facebook, I move onto some of the hundreds of games that are on Facebook! I've wasted a heck of a lot of time on both Mafia Wars and Farmville especially.



And the bigger and better I get, the more I can do, and the more time I waste. Soon enough, I will never have time to do anything else, because I need to go on Facebook. I need to play Mafia Wars. I need to play FarmVille... Oh, how I waste my time!


Yet another way I waste my time is on this certain stalker-ish site called Twitter. As of yet I have failed to find the point. I think that is one of the things that appeals to me. It's complete lack of point. It's pointless. I do love pointless things. They waste so much time, though!

At present I generally get at least a couple of hundred text messages a day. I know, I'm pretty freakin' popular, aye? The sad thing is that they're all either from Twitter or Facebook. I get excited every time I receive a real text now. My sad little life.

I love reading everything even remotely connected to my favourite authors. Bands, too, but not quite as much. Either way, that all can take up a lot of time, too. Not quite as pointless as Facebook and Twitter. But still a bit of a waste when done as excessively as I do.

I really do waste so much time.

Imagine how much I could have written in the amount of time I've wasted on all these things? Imagine just how much I could have achieved in all this time? Hundreds of a hours this year alone... I really do waste a lot of time.

So I've decided that I'm going to spend my time doing much more productive things. No, I'm not going to stop Facebook altogether. Or Mafia Wars or Farmville or Twitter. I'm just going to spend less time on these things, and more time on other things, things that matter slightly more, things that aren't such a waste of time.

What about you? How much time do you waste? How do you waste it?
