I've gone through a post of " 30 things You Need To Stop Wasting Time on" and decided to pick 26 for myself.
1.
Hitting
snooze:
Get your lazy butt out of bed.
You set your alarm for a legitimate reason.
2.
Constantly
refreshing facebook
Try living life rather than
waiting for an acquaintance to update you on how their lunch is going.
3.
Checking
your phone constantly
Did you hear your massage tone?
Did it ring? If you answered ‘ no’ to either of those questions, put the phone
down and back away slowly, no, you don’t need it when you go to the bathroom.
4.
Dwelling
on problems
In the immortal words of Vanilla
Ice, “ If there was a problem. Yo, I’ll solve it. “ Instead of wasting time by
dwelling on a problem, work out what you can do to fix it.
5.
Worrying
Stop worrying and Start working
toward a solution.
6.
Caring
what others think
Unless you’re getting good advice
from people you love, disregard it. It doesn’t matter what other people think
of you, you need to stay true to yourself. Don’t waste your time, thoughts, and
energy on what others think. Be Proud to be yourself.
7.
Stay
online late into the night
It’s not only a waste of time
now, but will probably result in you sleeping half the day away tomorrow, or
being unproductive at work or school. There’s nothing so important that you
need to stay online for it until 3am. No, not even Instagram.
8.
Celebrity
culture
Stop giving a flying spaghetti
monster about the Krapdashians, or how you look compared to the entirety of
Hollywood. They’re all Photoshopped. Thighs are supposed to touch.
9.
Procrastinating
Just do it.
10.
Playing
romantic games
You can waste years not telling
someone how you feel out of fear. Grow a pair of ovaries and tell them. If
they’re not digging it, at least you’ll have the chance to move on. If they
feel the same the only regret you’ll have is the days, weeks, and months you
could have already had together.
11.
Feeding
the Trolls
It’s what they want. Stop before
you go into a rage blackout.
12.
Photographing
everything
Instead of trying to document
your life, live. The Internet will actually survive without the bathroom selfie
of you and a ham sandwich, or whatever it is that you’re into.
13.
Holding
grudges
Life’s too short! Forgive and be
positive.
14.
Complaining
Complaining really won’t get you
anywhere, and the only person who it’s hurting is you. Start thinking
positively. Figure out how to make your life more complaint-free.
15.
Eating
out of boredom
This kind of eating is a bad idea
all-around. If you’re bored, it means you’re wasting time. Find something
productive to do. Put some works in towards a goal or a dream. These would be
much better uses of your time that visiting the fridge for the seventh time
this hour.
16.
Waiting
for something to happen
The world isn’t going to wait for
you. Go after what you want.
17.
Constantly
updating your status
This is not living. No one cares
that your left flip flop broke on the way to the bin.
18.
Decision
Indecision often stems from fear.
Deep down, you’re likely to know what decision you want to make.
19.
Hanging
around negative people
The people in your life shouldn’t
be a constant stream of negativity. Give them the figurative (or even literal)
bird, and find some positive people to spend time with. You’ll feel a whole lot
happier and enjoy life more.
20.
Watching
reality TV
If you’re watching TV, make it
something halfway decent. Don’t waste your time with frivolous half-scripted crap
that networks pump out so they don’t have to pay real writers. Avoid the bottom
shelf stuff. There are too many great shows out there.
21.
Day
dreaming
Stop daydreaming of amazing
things on Internet and start doing them.
22.
Brands
All that expensive crap you covet
really isn’t that special. Despite the heinous prices tag. They’re likely to be
exploiting just as many third-world children as the cheap labels. Get over
brand name obsession and spend your time and money on something worthier.
23.
Gossip
I know it can be juicy and kind
of fun, but it really gets you nowhere.
24.
Unrequited
love
This can be one of the hardest
things to let go of but you simply must. Unrequited means that you probably
know that’ they’re not interested. Why waste your time on that when you can be
working on being happy? When you find the right person for you. You’ll lament
all the wasted time spent on someone who didn’t care.
25.
Popping
pimples
DO you really want to end up like
the Crater-faced guy form Grease? I didn’t think so.
26.
Being
Glued to your phone
Not only does this makes you miss
the world going on around you. It’s also just plain rude in a social situation.
