i don't like the throwing around of the term 'wasted' even if you mean 'wasted potential work time', who's to say that entertainment in short bursts doesn't in

  I agree. I always here about how people "waste time" by enjoying themselves. Since when is enjoying yourself a waste of time? This sort of talk is often directed at financially stable people, too. Sure, there may be "better" things to do with one's time, but we only have one life to live (that we can acknowledge, anyway) so I feel some leisure time is well deserved.

  Of course I was being facetious in describing them as wasted, just as the original article was. If you really thought of every moment spent at leisure as "wasted time" you'd go mad. The vast majority of hours of anyone's life are "wasted" in one sense or another, so it's not my problem how anyone else chooses to waste theirs. I just hope that when I get to the end of my hours that the top few hundred of 'em will be enough to justify the hundreds of thousands I spent doing stuff rapidly forgotten.

    Many people would say the hours where you are productive in order to rake in some money are – in some sense – wasted. Time in which you can do whatever you like is what life is all about. You are truly lucky if you can make money with that but most people cannot.
