What do you waste your time doing?

Ironing bed sheets.
New years resolution is to NOT iron them.

GN, Sudoko, watching a couple on YouTube showing how to cook in their Ninja Air Fryer, Priceless, crochet and reading.

Surfing the net. Unfortunately I've started watching short TikTok videos. SUCH a waste of time!

Same here. They are very addictive.

ILoveCheese
Same here. I fixed a problem that I had by looking at these videos.
I must stop looking at how to sew a rolled hem ? I’m never going to crack it but can’t stop looking at the videos.

I spend hours watching videos of people making lovely bags and pouches out of scraps of material. I have plenty of material and ideas , especially for presents, but I somehow never make it to my sewing machine!

Apart from GN and MN, you mean?

Me too

Also

wordle
quordle
pitcherwits
codewords

and googling in general. I also spend far too much time watching repeats of murder mysteries on the TV.

YouTube has videos of pitiful, stray animals who are rescued and restored to health. I love watching expert groomers remove the horrible, matted hair and overgrown hooves/claws. The transformations are so heartwarming.

Streaky

I like to think I am not wasting my time doing Wordle or Nerdle, rather I am keeping my mind active and ticking over!

Thankyou, Streaky. That makes me feel a lot better.

Pinterest. Whether it’s garden design, decorating or upcycling furniture, I can waste loads of time on there.

Nothing I do is "wasting time", it's merely avoiding things I don't want to do. I am generally very successful.

GN MN FB

Playing Number Match on my phone. It is sooooooooo addictive.

Procrastinating.

Gransnet and silly word games like boggle online. I could argue they were for keeping the mind going but it would be a lie!

YouTube - looking up a particular song/piece of music, and then disappearing down a YouTube rabbit hole.
Particularly bad around December, when I fancy hearing e.g In The Bleak Midwinter by e.g. King’s College, and then listen to 13 more.
More recently having a yen for With Cat-like Tread* followed by several more G&S ditties.
*there’s a v good flash mob one on a beach, by some musical theatre group, an Aussie one IIRC.

What do I waste my time doing?

Nothing

Cycled 7 miles to loch, had 30min swim, chat with friends, ate plums and cake, came home ate more now thawing out on couch with dog surfing net!

Getting engrossed in a movie on Netflix which instead of finishing after Season 1, has another 2 Seasons following. So I just watch bits and pieces of the last 2 Seasons and find that I haven't missed much.

Scrolling GN, Instagram and now Tik tok videos ?

Cycling, Swimming, Gardening. Reading, Surfing the Net.

I have an interior design game app called Redecor. I spend too much time playing it....sighs.

Ooh I hadn’t found Quordle before. Now I have another thing to ‘waste my time’ on ?

Wordle, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, internet rabbit holes.

Looking at live webcams of safari parks in Africa and following live safaris - can spend hours watching elephants drinking or giraffes eating!

I love TikTok

Surfing the net and finding such interesting things to read!
Reading most of my online newspaper (Telegraph). Is this time wasting I ask myself. Not when it’s news but probably when it’s some of the drivel they write!
Looking at my emails and getting sidetracked, especially with shopping!
As above for EBay, Amazon etc.
Online forums like GN, Quora, FB. A glorious way to waste time!
Napping!
