How much time do we spend doing wasteful things? We all have time-wasting bad habits that can burn up our time in creative ways. Do any of these sound familiar?
- Did that one episode turn into a binge-watching bonanza that lasted through the night?
- Do you find yourself munching down on the Halloween candy that was meant for the trick-or-treaters?
- How about that one Twitter thread that was a train wreck of ideas, but you just couldn’t stop scrolling?
I won’t say which ones are my bad habits. But lets face it, we all know how to wast time. An article from Inc. Magazine got my attention. My big takeaway is to consider how much time per hour that bad habit is costing you. Could you be doing something more productive instead of that bad habit? Is it costing you more than you thought?
For the most part, that advice holds up. Unfortunately, I can scarf down candy like it is going out of style. Wait, did I just confess one of my bad habits?
We all need a few moments of diversion and we can’t be productive twenty-four seven. However, the tip from the article reminds me that time is precious and we need to consider what choices affect us in the long run.
