What do you waste your time doing?

Scrolling on Facebook.

Gransnet, mumsnet, Duolingo, Farm Heroes Saga ( bit like Candy Crush but with vegetables ?) Facebook and in recent political times have been venting on Twitter

Housework. A complete waste of time - you are just symbolically moving dirt around.

No hobbies such as puzzles, gardening, crafts, watching TV, listening to the radio, reading etc, etc, are wasting time as far as I am concerned.

What I did waste time on for decades was being at the beck and call of ungrateful family and friends - no more.

I don't consider puzzles a waste of time.
But I waste time on Facebook.
Also doing housework that isn't important.
Looking for clothes online knowing I won't find what I want.
Reading rubbish books ( have cut down)

Worrying about family things that I can't do anything about.

I would argue that I waste time going to work because you can guarantee if I dropped dead tomorrow they'd replace me within weeks (or do away with my role). So surely making memories with friends and family by playing games or just spending time with them is more important, however I have yet to find a way to monitise that (although "influencers" manage) so sadly must continue to go to work

Free competitions, used to win wonderful prizes many years ago, holidays, landscaped garden, electrical goods, even a car. This was when slogan writing was popular, nowadays haven't got the hang of social media & never buy a product just to enter like hundreds of thousands do. Luck of the draw prizes rarely come my way. Not complaining, I've great memories of those long white envelopes.

Wasting time on Royal Match it’s an online game but so addictive but I guess it gets the old grey matter churning so perhaps not such a waste ?! Trying to please everyone when I know it’s impossible, I really must try to bite the bullet and just please myself now. Crosswords and online surfing for nothing in particular!

I hang my washing neat on the line not so it looks good but so I don’t have to waste time ironing it?

Wordle most mornings, GN, What-sapping trivia back & forth with old friends who I don’t see often, watching You Tube videos, usually on diet, health or crafts. I also fall down the rabbit hole on Ancestry. Years ago I got quite addicted to Tetris but I don’t do many games like that now.

I’ve just ensconced my husband into care home after caring for him for 27 years ((stroke/Alzheimer’s).What with working part time all those years as well , I’ve never had spare time . I had my 2nd stroke a year ago so now at last I’ve got spare time! I intend to waste it …waste it….and if there’s any left over …I’m gonna waste that as well!

Reading and marvelling at the politics on Gransnet because i had never realised just how many old women supported Labour. But many are anything up to 30
Years younger than me. I read online DT and the Times plus Spectator and Guido Fawkes. Thrn i am a Sudoku devotee and up until i became ill and had to be in hospital i worked hard to save the lives of dogs in Shelters in Ohio. Currently i am resting and trying to get stronger here in St Lucia but i just cannot watch news from home because it depresses me so
much i could cry. So i talk to my dogs instead. My son feels the same and we mourn for the Conservatives and wish Maggie was back.All a complete waste of time.

Ditto to all of that Leah50 and sounds like GreenGran78 also.

Now it's reading, surfing and making jewellery when not at work. I do miss the rush of crafting a slogan and a LWE

Reading the fantasy threads on Gransnet. Today’s is an absolute belter

Hi blossoming. Where can I find fantasy threads have looked but couldn’t see anything.

Indian cooking videos on Youtube and then lots of other irrelevant things that are 'suggested' Ruzzle word game.

If I am happy doing whatever then I don't consider it wasted time. I could say that I waste time ironing (but I do it as little as I can get away with).

You can’t find them. GNHQ delete them.

Hmmm I like to think that I dont waste my time doing anything, everything I do is because I want to do it,not to 'fill in time'.

Procrastinating. Thinking about what I ought to be doing and not doing it.

Wordle, Quordle, Octordle, Guardian and Observer cryptic crosswords, especially pondering clues I can't answer.

WordswithFriends2 is the only online game I play, but I just play at odd moments in the day when sitting down. I'm sure some people spend all day on it. I don't think crossword solving is a waste of time! I print off the Guardian crosswords each day and you can get answers the next day.
