Those sound like my favorite ways to waste time.

As a wife, I am pleased with your recent change. If only I could get my husband to do the same LOL.

I am striving to waste more time reading and painting. If the paints are out on the table, or if I take my painting kit to my boyfriend's on the weekend, I sometimes really do it! And I love it, it is satisfying and fun. Am I still watching reels on Instagram of painting techniques... yes, but if I apply them after then its a whole other thing isn't it? I'm learning and trying new things and now the algorithm is working in my favour. ( I think.... )

I paint for a living and I still take classes so I can really focus. My current favorite waste of time is fencing. I get to stab things.

I make fencing for a living, and paint and do pottery for fun! Not the exactly kind you are talking about though, I mean 1x6 lumber... to build fences from. I run and work in a planer mill :D The world is a funny old place, isn't it?

It really is! I love the smell of wood mills. Makes me think of the deep woods.

So adorable how you wordsmith. I’m wasting time after this. I’m sitting and watching it rain on the desert. Soaking it in this frabjous morn. The skies are resplendent. I’m done being adorable now.

Gosh, that sums it up so perfectly...."When I’m on the socials, it’s driven by someone else’s algorithm." I'm battling with this too.

We call taking your phone to the bathroom 'poogling' at my house.
