At first these ten series seem very easy to comment on, however I must tell you this is the fourth one I have set out to do, the others were abandoned until a later date. 1) Washing the car... more

    Advantages Advantages "What is life for except to pass the time?" (Ben Reich)

    Disadvantages Disadvantages "It would have passed anyway." (Samuel Beckett)

    "Waste not your hour, nor in the vain pursuit Of this or that endeavour or dispute." (Omar Khayyam) * Three quotations already and the review’s not even begun. This is a touch heavy on the quotes even by my standards, and I’ve a nasty feeling that it means I’m not yet sure what I think about the subject. I did know what I thought about it an hour ago, but that was before I’d thought about it, if you see what I mean, and certainly before I’d read what other people thought about it. Always a mistake, to muddy the waters with preliminary research. You might even call it a waste of time ... more

    Advantages Advantages You don't know you're doing it

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Afterwards you wished you hadn't

    At first these ten series seem very easy to comment on, however I must tell you this is the fourth one I have set out to do, the others were abandoned until a later date. 1) Washing the car is always a waste of time because it will only get dirty again and you could have done something better, like see that film on TV. 2) You watch a film on TV and two hours later it finishes and you didn't like it, such a waste because you could have gone down the pub for a drink with your mates. 3) You go down to the pub for a drink with your mates and when you get there none of them are , what a waste of ... more

    Here are the definitive top 10 ways to waste time in reverse order starting from ten. 10: build a time machine and don't use it. This has the advantage of taking many years of your life to complete, it scrapes into the top ten by virtue of the fact that you could actually regain this lost time should you want to but can't be ar*ed. 9: chopping down a tree with a salmon. New entry at number 9 because of it's cameo in Monty Pythons Holy Grail. To enhance the efficacy of this method I suggest the use of a reasonably sized Mollusk. 8: Steven Spielberg Not so much a method of wasting time as an ... more

    Advantages Advantages Lots to do

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No time to waste.

    Is life so boring that we really want to waste time? I have scratched my head and tried to think about ten ways I could waste my time and do you know? I just cannot think of any. (I wonder how long that took me.) Why? The reason is I think because my brain keeps working. So it really does not matter what I do I am never wasting time. Now before you go scrolling down to the bottom of the page to give me an off topic rating – Stop! Don’t waste your time! I shall think of ten things which some people tend to think is a waste of time - maybe? Well I used to. And then tell you how I turn it around ... more

    Advantages Advantages Time heals all wounds.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Time flies when you are having fun!

    The environment is an important issue to me, and what is time but one more element of our environment? It’s all in how you look at it. Ever hear the line, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”? Here are ten of my favorite ways to recycle my time from mundane, routine, responsible, and ‘more profitable’ pursuits to golden memories that seem to last forever. 1. Listening I prefer to go out where sounds of traffic and people are lessened, but any place you can go to just listen to the world around you is good. The longer you sit and listen, the more ... more
