Pad Patter 9/5: Your Time Suck?

Grading papers, oh wait, I get paid for that. Um...being here! But I like to think of TLP as a time-splurge rather than a time-suck. Sounds so much nicer!

Gotta be Pinterest. You click on one thing and then you follow bunny trails for 30 minutes and you're looking at brownie recipes! Or maybe that's just me.

This is SO me!!! So, it isn't just you, Stacy! :) I get on there and start looking at recipes and think I will only do this for 15 minutes and then, an hour later I am still doing it! It is addictive. However, I do find really good recipes on there that my family loves so it is a win/win kind of thing I guess. LOL!
 
Facebook, have just decided to have october very nearly off facebook, limit myself to once a week. I have avoided pinterest because I knew I would never, ever surface from that...

And since I have an e reader now, I spend way to much time reading (books plus instant downloading was always going to be a problem for me...)
 
facebook, instagram, and solitaire - those are the three things I check and do most often on my phone!

Mine is reading, although I can always rationalize it! Reading is good for you! LOL

Same here. I can start reading at 9pm. The next thing I know is my mum wud walk in and said "Agnes, dun you have work tomorrow"? That is my cue to chk the time = 12mn.

I will reply "Ok, this chapter finishing". Once THAT chapter is done. I'll say to myself, "Ok getting boring, finish this chapter then sleep." But it gets "worse" so I continued reading until 6am. Then I'm done for THAT book :p

Oh, the overnight reading only happens on a Friday night. My internal clock will shut down automatically at 1am on other wkdays.

yep this totally, though I do find I procrastinate a lot when it comes to actually doing my online school work (one class is 90% online)
 
Face book! I seriously need to stop being nosey and deactivate it ive managed 3 pages in 2 days as I havent had internet thats more than I did alltogether last month
 
Add me to the Facebook-Should-Be-Called-Timesuck-Instead camp. But I think my real Time Suck is the phone or messenger. If I'm not wearing my earbuds when I'm on the phone I can easily chat away without accomplishing much of anything. Thank goodness for earbuds and for Skype.
 
civilization 5. i can normally quit when i need to be somewhere. but late at night... just one more turn!
 
For me it would be anything that's on the net... Pinterest is usually the one I get sucked into the most because unusually go to look for something in particular and then get caught up with a the info on there.... Not enough hours in a day. ;)
 
YouTube and Facebook are pretty bad for me. I also spend too much time playing games on my phone - Simpsons Tapped Out, sudoko, Angry Birds.
 
i think we have all come to the conclusion face book is a time zapper urghh! and we all need to step away
 
Used to be phone games & computers. But I'm actively trying to limit my time on them now.
 
facebook. no doubt. that and candy crush. my life would be much more productive and my house much cleaner if I would lose my cell phone! ;)
