This should be interesting. I can’t wait to see what people who aren’t me spend too much time doing. In the meanwhile, I’ll post my list. And be sure to share some of the things you spend too much time doing, too.
Playing around on social media sites. It’s rarely ever hopping from site to site. It’s more like, “Oh, look…I just lost 3 hours to tumblr.” Or, hmmm…”I seem to have just pinned over 100 images of gypsy vardos to Pinterest.” Or, “That was nice catching up with so-and-so on Twitter/Facebook. Huh…I guess it’s bedtime.”
Cruising Etsy and Amazon for stuff I don’t necessarily need. But would desperately love.
Exhibit A: This ring that I really, really, really want. But obviously don’t need.

Getting distracted by random house/cleaning/craft projects. It’s not like these projects don’t need to be done. But, I’ll frequently get sucked into things at the exclusion of everything else.
Binge watching Netflix. ALL the Netflix. *sigh*
Beating myself up for not doing the things I’m supposed to be doing. Actually, this one seems to take a fair amount of time. I get really hung up on not being satisfied with whatever it is that I’ve accomplished, and instead, I focus on what I “should” have done. I’m working on this one.
So, I think that’s about it for me. What do you spend too much time doing? And be sure to click the links below to see what everyone else is spending too much time doing.
Reading, of course. Ruminating on the possibilities. Trying to corral the details.
Ahhhh…reading. 🙂 I need to squeeze in more time for that. It often gets shunted to the side because of editing.
I love your new mantra. May I steal it for me?? Yes, because shoulding all over is totally not allowed.
Isn’t it a good one?
Great list. Nodded along as I read. 🙂
I thought it might look familiar. 😉
Thank you very much for writing a my list. The only thing not in it was reading, but otherwise, yah! And I am not going to ask first, I am stealing your mantra! I know I “should” but . . . 😀
I have No. Idea. how I forgot to add reading to the list! o.O What is wrong with me!?
I laughed hysterically at the “I will not ‘should’ on myself.” I love it.
I love whoever came up with that. 😀
Lawd, social media sucks my time away soooooooooo bad. Mostly FB since I’m not really on Twitter anymore and I’ve basically forgotten I have a Tumblr or Pinterest (though now I kind of want to go check them out…. but I can’t because I have to write!)
You may NOT go check! You may, however, go write! 😀
