    12 Hours Shift – Counting Down My Hours Each Time At Work

    How do you waste the most time every day?

    At the time of writing this article, which was back in June 2025, I was going through my 6th Rotation of my Housemanship which is in the Department of Emergency and Trauma. As a House Officer in the Emergency Department, we go by the 12-hours shift.

    This meant, our shift is from:

    • AM Shift: 7am till 7pm
    • PM Shift: 10am till 10pm
    • Night Shift: 10pm till 10am

    In this department, they are strict in regards to adhering to a minimum of 60 hours per week in total. Thus, in a week, our schedule is as follows;

    • A total of at least 4 daytime shifts (AM or PM Shifts)
    • One night shift
    • One off day

    That is provided one has off-tagged of course.

    Perhaps, it is the “last paper syndrome” that I was experiencing being in the 6th and final rotation, I would be counting down my hours each day at work. Thus, upon arrival at work, I would start my “12-hours countdown“ on my phone.

    On slow days, I made it a point to go to toilet every hour, technically my so-called “hourly break” whereas on busy days, the toilet break is the only time I could take a break. This is followed by ensuring I have at least one meal per day during my shift.

    Otherwise, the schedule in the emergency department is relatively better as compared to my previous rotations. Nevertheless, the tiredness is still there.

    How do you waste the most time every day?

    In today’s writing prompt, we’re asked how we waste the most time every day. I feel like this can be really subjective, and it matters most what you consider a “waste of time.” I feel like, if you’re making progress toward a passion, or something you enjoy doing, then ultimately, that thing isn’t a waste of time. But, there are definitely things that I know I could personally cut down on, in order to expand the amount of time I have to do things each day.

    Such as sitting for hours scrolling social media, posting every once in a while, and then continuing. I kind of do this a lot when I’m in “waiting mode,” or when I’m nervous, or thinking about what needs to be done the next day. It leaves me feeling like I never have time for the things I need and want to do, but “unpacking” and just existing is something I frequently feel like I also need to do.

    Maybe in that way, I’m not really wasting time. I’m just recovering energy.

    I’ve always been kind of an introvert. Heck, I won’t even write the first message to people on dating apps, even though I get matches all the time. And this has been one of the major driving factors as to why I’m still single.

    But it’s true, I need a lot of time to exist, and without outside interference or noise. I’m not sure why I’ve gotten like this, or how I became a person who needs a lot of me-time. It’s just how it is now.

    If I think back to my twenties, I remember I spent all my time working, drinking, and meeting girls. It took me nearly a decade to write a single book, and that was the only thing I was working on. I was unfocused, I wasn’t really doing much to better myself, and then twenty-nine hit like a Mack truck.

    Maybe the biggest issue with time, is just that there’s never enough of it to go around. You can’t pause time, you can’t rewind time. But you can definitely watch it move forward, with, or without you. And as you get older, it seems to go faster and faster.

    One evening is spent having some drinks and scrolling your phone, and suddenly it’s two weeks later and nothing significant has changed in your life.

    Suddenly, it’s a year later, and you’re still in the same spot.

    Time just keeps on going, doesn’t it?

    I think the biggest waste of time is thinking about time. Because it’s just going to keep flowing, regardless of what you do, and it’s ridiculous to think that every single person should be making massive strides with every inch of time they have. Statistically, that’s impossible. You need time to unpack, you need time to just, exist, to be human.

    The idea of “wasting time” is something that emerged from a society that expects you to work and be productive until you retire, or die. And we all know what retirement is going to look like in thirty to forty years.

    Enjoy your time, however you see fit, while you still have it.

    This is not one of those times when I bitch that a daily writing prompt is similar to one we did a few days earlier. Nope. This one is a literal repeat.

    When I opened up WordPress.com today to answer the daily prompt the link said I had already answered it. Bullshit. I did not.

    I opened up the list of responses and grabbed today’s tag. I searched my blog for it and got a hit.

    I answered “today’s” question, complete with today’s tag, on June 25, 2023. A whole year ago. Wow. Thanks for nothing, whatever crap AI they are using for this daily thing.

    The worst part? When I read the question I came up with an answer right away… and it was the same answer I gave last year. Now I have to come up with something new. Jerks.

    How do you waste the most time every day?

    I wanted to quote the wise sage known to history as Warren Zevon and say I waste more time sleeping and should stop and sleep when I’m dead. But noooooo. That’s more or less what I said last year.

    Now? This time around? I guess I have to say I waste time watching television. I should waste time writing music, or practicing guitar, or working on my computer, or something productive and active and mind expanding. Instead? I watch TV. Every night. Like a vegetable.

    Blah.

    Here’s hoping today’s bullshit was a one time thing and we don’t do this again.

    Jerks.
