Time is a funny thing.
Sometimes it moves quickly.
Other times it moves slowly.
I feel like when I’m working on projects, the clock is always fast.
I underestimate how long something will take.
I get pulled in and lose track of time.
For others, I think project work might be the time the clock moves slow.
It’s not something they enjoy and they don’t lose track of time.
They are consciously aware of how much time has been “wasted”.
Waste of Time
What really is wasted time?
I think we may each describe it differently.
It’s wasted when we are doing something we don’t want to do.
It’s well spent when we have enjoyed the time past.
A sense of accomplishment.
A sense of connection.
The role of the time spent and our engagement with the activity.
We each define it differently.
Waste of time.
Time well spent.
Up to us to decide.
Your Turn
What activity do you enjoy that others consider a waste of time?
Are there activities you get engrossed in that others don’t enjoy?
What do you see others doing that you feel is a waste of time?
