  3. 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.

  4. #Gaza today: Scorching #heat, visible signs of #wasting and heavy #fighting news.un.org/feed/view/en/story

    Desperate #shortages of essentials in Gaza have left the enclave’s most vulnerable individuals struggling to carry on amid stifling heat, heavy fighting, #disease spread and a breakdown in law and order, UN humanitarians warned on Thursday.

  5. The X app is more than 230 MB big! It's a joke if you think what it does. It's just a list of items. No big assets. But there are more apps like this. Plus they release a new version once or twice a week. It is a waste of resources without any justification. Is it really where we are going to? #resources #wasting #appdev #future #environment

  6. Poll Workers’ Lawyers Bill Rudy Giuliani $89k for Missing Evidence

    Faced with a potentially costly #defamation #lawsuit for spreading conspiracy theories about two Georgia poll workers following the 2020 election, Donald Trump’s former personal attorney #Rudy #Giuliani is already facing consequences for refusing to turn over evidence in the case.

    Following a federal judge’s order #sanctioning Giuliani last month—and ordering him to #pay legal fees #for #wasting #everyone’s #time—the poll workers’ lawyers on Wednesday submitted a legal bill in court totaling $89,172.

    It's less than half of what they say they normally charge for the time they spent dealing with Giuliani's antics.

    The final bill is up to U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell, who previously wrote that Giuliani “#arbitrarily #limited his #search” of an email server and “conducted only an imprecise ‘manual search’ of his text messages,” causing a #ten-#month #delay—only to later #surprise the opposing side with another 4,000 pages of evidence.

    Giuliani was once Manhattan’s top federal prosecutor but is now facing #disbarment in the nation’s capital for having “#weaponized his #law #license to bring a #frivolous #action in an attempt to #undermine the #Constitution” in the service of former President Donald Trump.
