Sometimes it's okay -- to just do nothing -- on purpose.

Biggest time waster -- thinking about all the coulda, woulda, shoulda moments.

Gosh... I'd like to say ALL time is spent for good reason, even if it's relaxing. But, if I had to pick one, I'd probably say watching sports on TV. I love sports but, REALLY, what difference does any of it make? It's not going to change my life one way or the other.

My biggest time waster is the television. I usually feel bad about spending an evening laying in front of the tv instead of going out and riding my bike or taking a walk with my husband. It is feeling more and more as a time , life and realtionship sinkhole.
