I pretty much dominate the world, in every possible way. My presence is alluring to 99% of the population, and my talents are way beyond describing. Haha, no but seriously, I enjoy anything related to the internet or photography. I am a nerd, I love it, enjoy it, crave it, desire it, and will die with it.

10 amazing time killers

We all have those moments, either when we just stare at the screen and do absolutely nothing. Or we end up finding our selves extremely bored sitting on the computer trying to find something to do… Right? Well I know I find myself there sometimes, and you probably have too :).


The obvious top 5 websites

If you can’t kill time with one of these websites, your doomed. If your not working, and the sites listed above aren’t up to par with your boredom time, then what are you doing on the internet? Wasting your time on MSN/AIM, or looking at porn is just an awful way to kill your time. If your going to kill time, try to do it somewhat productively! Ok, so maybe MySpace and Facebook aren’t productive either, but hey… It’s my job ;) They are both very powerful promotional tools, same goes with Youtube, and Digg. At least these time killers get my brain thinking, you know what I mean? Try to find your top 5 time killers, and use it to your advantage.

And of course, my favorite 5

  • 1. Take notes, make a list.
    If your anything like me at all, which we might be if your reading my blog. Your probably somewhat inspired, driven, and want to make something of yourself. I know I am, we all have our ups and downs though, right? Take this time killer of mine, and try it out! I can seriously spend days organizing and making lists. Don’t do that, you’ll never finish them all. Make a list which you can actually accomplish. I try to organize my lists into two categories, Personal and Business.
  • 2. Read a book
    Relaxing on a couch, with absolutely no noise, or lying in bed, is one of the best things I can do for myself. Sometimes I will put the TV on for some background noise though ;). The point is, open a book, try it out. I know a lot of people have trouble staying focused and reading books, I know I do, but somehow I maintain. If you don’t like reading for knowledge, read for pleasure. I read for both. The knowledge I gain from computer/business books grows into experience (I take it to practice and apply the techniques) which gives me pleasure. Knowledge is one thing, action is another.
  • 3. Start a Hobby
    Start a hobby. If you already have one, do it, practice it, enjoy it. There are many things you can learn and enjoy. Hobbies can also build your character and sometimes become a big part of you. For instance, I decided one day I was going to learn magic tricks… It ended up being a big part of me, although I did resign from it. It was a great learning experience and fun while it lasted! Don’t forget chess!
  • 4. Exercise and eat right

    Eating right and exercising is a great thing, if you want to take care of yourself, I strongly recommend pushing yourself to get at least some exercise in during the week. If you have absolutely nothing to do, go to your local gym or even run around the block and do some push-ups! Take care of yourself, and the results will be great. You will feel better about yourself, healthier, and much more motivated in life.

  • 5. Starbucks

    This can kind of involve the first 3 I mentioned above (make a list, reading, and start a hobby). I felt Starbucks deserved it’s own time killer position on my list. I go to Starbucks way to much, but I get important things done. I would bring books, writing pads, my laptop, pens, etc… Starbucks is a great place to catch up on any work you may have, maybe pull up AskMen.com, and start reading some articles! The list goes on!

Conclusion
Well there you have it, my top 10 list of time killers! Although my time killers are somewhat productive, I try to be as much as I can. I know, you guys were expecting stuff that would be fun time killers huh? Well guess what, this blog wasn’t so you could watch TV, eat cookies, and play around. These are tips I use as much as possible to kill time if needed! I hope this helps you guys, let me know how it goes! Get going on that new hobby!

  1. Great list! I should start going to Starbucks… Maybe I’ll work harder.

  2. Heck ya don! You commented me :) Do it up if you have a laptop, it’s quite fun :D

  3. we dont have starbucks in europe :(

  4. Yup! Its true… myspace takes up all my time

  5. Nope, not looking for fun timewasters. I hope we’re all here to make money.

    Keep updating. I will follow your blog. I enjoy reading your posts.

  6. Go to Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf not Starbucks!!

  7. MySpace is completely evil… I will be telling my 11k friends by soon enough… I think Starbucks will become my 2nd office lol.. Hit them up around 3 or 4 AM and it’s amazing what gets done just so you can hurry home and sleep! Pump up music from your iphone or ipod (not machine, slows machine down and can distract you even more!) and just get work done!

    Love your list, I actually do all of them exactly also lol.. I even went as far as signing up for a weight lifting class in college so I would “HAVE” to go and exercise and lift weights… Helps out so much and got me motivated to do much more!

  8. I actually do and love all of these things that you said, except for other sites for blogging… because I get lost, and rarely can blog anyways. I practice my graphic design skills everyday, all day long. I don’t have a job, I have only been paid once for my work. And I have a project I can do right now that will get me paid. Maybe I should make a deviantART page, and share my work. Do you have one Andrew? I found that deviantART can very much kill time, and its so interesting to see the art other users can make, and you can learn from others, and become so much better. I love Graphic Design, Art, and I love Fashion. I should look up how to make T-Shirts, and make me some. I wanna put logos and nice designs on clothes, that’d be cool. You’re cool man, I read your blogs, hope everything is wonderful for you, you deserve it.

  9. 1st off, sexy ass new blog design :D

    2nd, my biggest time waster is http://www.deviantart.com because I am constantly on the programming and computer hardware forums discussing things that are to my interest.

    As for exercise goes, skateboarding all the time and snowboarding in the winter keeps me in shape :D

  10. Russell: I’ve never really fell into the deviant seen, because I didn’t really design before, but now that I do photography, I should. Thanks for the comments, good luck with everything you do!

    Andrew: Thank you! :) Your such a pimp, working out n shit ;)
