TIME-SUCK: an activity to which one devotes a lot of time that might be better or more productively spent doing other things (Merriam-Webster)

The biggest time suckers

1. Social Media - it's extremely distracting when using it for personal use. It sucks your time away. Use it for your business by focusing on what will help you grow.

2. Email - it's likely the vast amount of stuff sitting in your inbox is either completely useless or inducing us to spend vast amount of money

3. The Internet - you can shop for hours at a time looking for online deals or the cheapest price. Or you can waste time by simply watching YouTube and get lost for hours at a time

4. Chaotic Workspace - if where we work is cluttered then our mind is cluttered. Move those sticky notes with passwords and bills and magazines, or what ever is in your work space that is not directly related to your productivity

5. Lack of Planning - Have a TO-DO list so you know what is a priority

Hi Linda.
Interesting topic πŸ‘

TIME-SUCK!

Greetings,
Slavka πŸ‘‹

It's always something.

It’s so very true. We all have them.

Susan

I experience all of those, Linda!

Jeff

Haha, Me too, Jeff.

I’m very organized when I really have to be, but I try to avoid it whenever possible! 😎

Frank 🀘🎸

I know what you mean, Frank!

Jeff😎🀘🎸

I know you do, Jeff! Lol πŸ‘πŸ˜ŽπŸŽΈ

🀣🀣🀘🎸

🀣🀣🀣πŸ₯³πŸ€˜πŸŽΈπŸ»

WOW!!!
You too Frank & Jeff!
ME TOO!!! 😊

Greetings,
Slavka πŸ‘‹

Hi, Slavka

I work better in a less structured environment, as most musicians tend to. Lol

I had my time micro-managed during my 40 years of practicing clinical medicine 6 to 7 days a week while aiming to achieve the best possible clinical outcomes in the office and hospital. It was a real balancing act.

Now that I'm semi-retired, I can do things my way. It's not the shortest or most efficient route from point A to point B, but it's more creative and fun.

I'm not trying to use affiliate marketing to replace a full-time income, so it's a luxury I can afford.

Welcome to the club! 😎

Rock On 🀘
Frank 🎸

Yes, of course!
Thank you for welcoming me to the club.
Admittedly, I'm not a pensioner.
I have a main job and occasionally side jobs (not at the moment), that's why I get to move around the community.
I'm also trying to explore my niche, but man, I can't manage to be productive and satisfied on all sides.

You know, it would be totally elusive if I had guzzle table (Jeff) and a yard in the city, I wouldn't enter the apartment.

Moving on (Keep Rocking!), productivity has to be there!

Greetings,
Slavka πŸ‘‹πŸ˜ŽπŸŽΈπŸ€˜

Hi, Slavka

Somehow, I manage to make it all happen fundamentally and somewhat disorganizedly, but my guitar site is an extension of my musical hobby. Haha

Yes, Jeff really has it happening with his "guzzle table!" Lol πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ˜Ž

Rock On! 🀘
Frank 🎸

πŸ‘πŸ˜πŸ‘‹
Enjoy your time and hobby, Frank.

Thanks, Slava, I will! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ˜Ž

Frank 🀘🎸

Well said, Frank!

Have a Rocking Labor Day!

Jeff😎🀘🎸

Thanks, Jeff!

Happy Labor Day! 😎

Rock On! 🀘
Frank 🎸

You bet, Frank, and thanks!

Jeff😎🎸
