Wasting Time

QVCkitty1 — Sun, 15 Dec 2019 18:10:35 GMT

Ok, I can't be the only one that occasionally goes down the internet rabbit hole. What wastes your time on the web ? I'll admit Instagram ( especially cats of Instagram ) , shoe browsing, a silly game I play on my iPad , and recipes. Come on , fess up what things do you search that take up way more time than you intended ? 😻

Looking at and printing coupons,

Adding digital coupons to store cards,

Although I do waste a good amount of time looking at new offers added,

the savings I get are worth it.

Q Board and You Tube - I like to listen to music, watch dancing and other videos on You Tube. I do come to QVC everyday and check hot picks, the New and the program guide and of course read trhe Forums - all of them - I chose View all Forum Topics, rather than a specific category because I have learned interesting and informative things in categories I would not chose such as beauty, electronics, TV Movies and recipes. I do open those posts just to see the topics but may not read replies.

I also get my news from the internet as I do not watch much TV - I spend/waste most of my time reading when I should be doing other things such as chores!

Cruising eBay for jewelry, checking out email alerts for sales from my favorite companies, scoping out recipes for dinner (when it is my turn to cook), reading articles on National Geographic, History dot com, Atlas Obscura, Live Science (OK, so I'm a nerd), checking out my favorite lingerie sites for new stuff (I'm a fancy pantie freak), comparison shopping, looking for new and interesting plants and orchids for my atrium and I always check the word of the day on Word Genius.

Looking at this, it appears that I am an aging weirdo😜

I was going to say this forum. But really, it's not a waste of my time because I really enjoy being here, learning new stuff and just hanging around some pretty cool people.

That's why it wasn't on my list. 😻

Things I look at to 'rest my mind and put it in neutral' are:

vrbo.com -- planning ahead for vacations and reading about locations
real estate -- don't know why. Not looking for a place -- I believe someone else said that
art.com & greatbigcanvas.com. Not looking for artwork to hang, but enjoy looking
less on Facebook. People are getting political and it's too tempting to reply when I don't agree. Love the good news from friends -- bad news makes me sad
Checking email and logging into this forum - looking at new fashion and jewelry online. Seldom buy. I have enough stuff for now
I know waste of time is a phrase, but it's more of a decompress time for me. I may need to watch my internet time when I retire

These boards are a godsend for those who are alone. I am glad there are monitors so I am not suddenly ambushed with potty-mouth or political nonsense I have no desire to see. One of the few places still safe to visit!

I am trying to do better I waste way too much time on Instagram, Facebook, IO Groups and here. I have been trying not to spend as much time on any of these! It is easy to go on them and an hour or two has gone by!

Dollar Tree hauls, its amazing how many times they go a week & what they find-buy. My others are...real estate sites, homeowners doing remodeling, antique pickers & homesteading channels.
