What do you love to waste time on?

I think "guilty pleasures" are a very important part of being productive when it's time. They're different than hobbies, because there's no real growth intended, and that's pretty freeing. They're definitely not celebrated enough! How do you love to waste time? I like to watch bad TV shows on TLC and spend time on illustration Instagram.

I love this! I'm so guilty of indulging in things when no one is around to judge me. My top "wasters" are 1. Bravo & E TV Shows- All of them. Housewives, Below Deck, Million Dollar Listing, The Kardashians. 2. Eating crap - Cheap tacos, corn dogs, cupcakes, chips... 3. Redfin & Zillow - Trolling old neighborhoods to see who's selling and for what. Trolling beach houses I can't afford. 4. Shopping online- Skin Care, Makeup, Bedding. Usually filling a cart and not purchasing. 5. Instagram rabbit hole - All the crazy influencers, celebrities and people I know who lead seemingly fabulous lives.

Forgive me for saying this, but I will take a nap or sleep when there's time. I truly believe, as working women, we don't get enough shut eye!

I really enjoy browsing on Pinterest and social media. I also like looking at houses for sale on different Websites, like Zillow and Realtor.com. I could spend hours doing either of these things and when I am really stressed I notice I do it more often just to try and mentally escape the chaos.

I love looking at homes for sale! Especially when it comes to comparing and contrasting neighborhoods and city prices. Have you checked out Redfin? I know the app isn’t in all cities but it’s a great user experience for checking out listings.

I haven’t heard of that app. I’ll check it out. My area is usually last to a lot of things like that. Thank you!

When I waste time, it's usually on television. I can get addicted to pretty much any show and I have a huge list of things I want to watch!

I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, but I play games on pch.com (must have an ad blocker). Players win virtual tokens that they can turn in for chances on physical prizes. And I now get to say that I'm a two time Publisher Clearing House winner when asked to tell something about myself (too bad it was only $10 and $50).

I'm a TV junkie in my spare time. It's definitely a guilty pleasure for me. And a nap once in a while falls in that category, too.

Agreed "guilty pleasures" are important! When I need to tune out, I either play Candy Crush or resort to some Real Housewives or KUWTK. I will try to set my phone down too so I can truly just tune in and not think of anything at that given time.

I love to waste time watching some of my favorite TV shows on TLC, MTV, and VH1 because they are entertaining and help me to take my mind off the busy work week I have.
