Time Waster?

I came across an article recently that listed the following as time wasters:

  • Watching TV
  • Online Social Networking – Twitter, Digg, Facebook,
  • Playing Video Games.

Are they really time wasters?

Well, for someone like me, they are not!

I mean, think of how my work and ministry has been impacted and built up by Twitter.. I’ve already shared some of it in the post My Twitter Experience.

I can’t even begin to enumerate the hundreds of sermons and articles that have been inspired just by movies and documentaries on TV!

I spend lots of time with my kids playing computer and video games.  It’s a bonding activity that my kids love, and one I’ll rather do than anything else.

Once again, it’s all about understanding your own uniqueness and not allowing yourself be intimidated by other people’s opinions.

Let me ask you a very simple question, Are there things you enjoy doing, but which folks would normally regard as a time waster?

Share some of these things with us and let us know the benefits you personally benefit from them.

Be inspired!
Discover Yourself!

  • I think how you use TV, social networking, and video games and how much time you spend engaged with them determines whether or not they're a waste of time, not the media themselves.

    For me Twitter is a waste of time. However, Facebook is fun and helps me to relax. But, if I were to spend my whole day on Facebook that would definitely be a waste of time.

    I don't think there's anything I do that anyone would consider to be a time waster.
