10 Ways to Waste Time

24 hours is more than you need. How to get rid of some of that excess?

  1. Write a List

    It always works for me. If you don't think you can finish an entire list, start with a sentence or, barring that, just jot down the number one.
  2. Stumble

    The great thing about that little StumbleUpon button is it's like the ones lab doctors give to rats that administer crack in small doses. Every time you click you'll be met with something entertaining. Soon, you will be completely hooked, possibly on the street with a sign asking to work for Wi-Fi access.
  3. Take a Walk

    Walking is a total waste of time. Driving is way faster. Although, carbon emissions could possibly shorten the lifespan of the earth, which could be considered the ultimate waste of time. It's like smoking cigarettes for the planet. So I guess that makes this one a win-win.
  4. Watch TV

    I don't usually like to think of television as a waste; to me the tube is aptly named, as it is reminiscent of a feeding apparatus for my soul. But time will pass without you knowing when you watch an entire season of 24 in one sitting, so it works for this exercise.
  5. Hit Yourself in the Head with a Brick

    Yes, I have tried this, and the downside is you can't really waste that much time with this activity unless you do it right.
  6. Read a Book

    Preferably one with pictures. Preferably one without a spine that you can find at a supermarket. Preferably just the ads. Reading literature can be too nurturing and/or fruitful and is therefore not considered a waste of time.
  7. Spank a Monkey

    There are websites, and it is surprising how much time you can chew away smacking Bobo around. And it's better to vent your frustrations on computerized images rather than give in to animal cruelty.
  8. Watch “2 Girls and a Cup.”

    The years of therapy you will go through will be a tremendous waste of time.
  9. Hug a Tree

    Seriously, do you think the tree really cares?
  10. Read this List

    If you made it this far you officially wasted a minute or two of your day. Write a comment and you've wasted five. Congratulations.
