How do you waste the most time every day?

View all responses

Is there such a thing as wasted time? Is our time considered wasted if we’re doing something we enjoy, or even mundane but necessary? I want to think not.

For example, I’m writing this post because I have some energy. Is this considered wasted time? I hope not. Earlier, my parents came by my house with a truck full of furniture. Since they are downsizing, I’m inheriting a dining room and patio furniture set, so I took my buffets out of my dining room, washed my floor, and helped my dad unload the truck and set up the furniture in my house and on my deck. I definitely cannot consider this a waste of time.

Are all my days like this? No, most days, I spend clutching my head in pain and snuggling up to my dog. And that’s OK. I know there are better days ahead, and on those good days, maybe I’ll spend time with family or friends or curl up with a book.
