If Only I Could Watch a Movie While Sitting in Traffic

How do you waste the most time every day?

Besides working, eating and sleeping, those things we need to do, though we might not always enjoy them, I spend a lot of time doing Wordle, the NYT crossword, and learning Spanish on Duolingo. I wouldn’t consider this wasted time though. I feel like I’m exercising my mind a bit. Also I walk quite a bit to try and keep fit. So where do I really waste time? Two areas: driving to and from work. I spend approximately 3 hours each workday. 5 days a week, 250 days a year for 40 years. Do the math. Just kidding… I did it for you. 30,000 hours, about 3 1/2 years of my life. I also waste an inordinate amount of time looking for something to watch on a myriad of streaming services. I spend more time swiping through HBO, Disney, Hulu, Prime and Netflix than I actually spend watching actual shows. So many choices and nothing to watch.
