What has been your biggest time waster this month? - help needed

[Connor82]

This felt like the right place to ask.

Happy to share more context if it helps.

Even short answers are useful, especially if you have actually tested this yourself.

Let me know what you think

Good shout. You are not wrong.

The advice that sticks with me is always the stuff that comes with a specific example rather than a general principle.

Thanks for that

[IronFist66]

That is exactly it. Story of my life that.

Good stuff

"Haha, you nailed it - story of my life indeed! That whole rabbit hole I fell into was pure digital purgatory. One second I'm 'quickly checking' a fact, the next I've watched 40 minutes of videos about medieval blacksmithing and can now recite the periodic table of alchemy (not that it helps). But hey, at least it was a good story, right?

My month's champion was that 'just one more episode' situation with a documentary series I thought would be 30 minutes. Turns out 'the definitive history of' something is always 8 episodes. My brain was like 'we're watching a 4-minute clip' and the algorithm was like 'here's 11 more, you're already invested!' Classic. What about you - was it a show, a game, or something even more mundane like organizing a spreadsheet collection?
