How to Waste an Hour: 12 Steps

1. Browsing Social Media: One of the most common ways people waste time is by mindlessly scrolling through social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. You’ll easily spend an hour procrastinating and doing nothing productive.

2. Watching Random YouTube Videos: Head over to YouTube and type in random keywords like “funny dog videos” or “epic fails compilation.” Before you know it, you’ll have spent an hour watching videos that don’t contribute much to your life.

3. Surfing the Internet Aimlessly: Open your web browser and just start clicking on suggested articles, blog posts, or news stories without any real goal in mind other than passing time.

4. Channel Surfing: If you have cable TV, flip through channels aimlessly for an hour without committing to any one program.

5. Taking a Long Shower: Set a timer and let yourself enjoy a long, hot shower using your favorite soaps and shampoos while listening to music or daydreaming.

6. Playing Mobile Games: Download a new mobile game on your smartphone and spend an hour absorbed in it — especially ones with repetitive gameplay that don’t require much thought.

7. People Watching: Head to a nearby park or coffee shop with plenty of foot traffic and spend an hour observing people as they pass by. Let your imagination run wild by creating stories about their lives.

8. Daydreaming: Find a quiet space where you can comfortably sit down or lie down and let your mind wander for an hour. Visualize yourself in different scenarios, imagine conversations with friends or characters from books and movies – anything goes!

9. Reorganizing Your Space: Instead of taking the time for deep cleaning or decluttering, spend an hour moving things around without making substantial progress to improve the functionality or appearance of your space.

10. Taking Unnecessary Naps: If you are not particularly tired, allow yourself to nap for an hour. You may wake up feeling groggy and restless, but hey, you wasted an hour!

11. Trying Out Weird Snack Combinations: Raid your pantry or refrigerator and create snack combinations out of whatever you find. Then, spend an hour taste-testing your bizarre creations.

12. Staring at the Ceiling: Sometimes the simplest of activities can be the most effective in wasting time. Lay down on a comfortable surface, stare at the ceiling, and let your mind drift for an entire hour.

Remember, these activities are designed as instructions on how to waste time. Engaging in them occasionally is fine, but make sure to strike a balance between leisure and productivity in your everyday life!

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
