I know your time is not wasted here! But, I do get the frustrations of all the other avenues that are leeches of our time. May we find ways to remove them from our lives! 💜

It is amazing how much time is eaten up with the most worthless tasks. I do like the poetry aspect, but there is never enough left between sleep and work.

I hear that! I also wonder if I always had these worthless tasks as I didn’t seem to notice them as much as I do now! What I decided the other day was that I DID have these tasks, but they did not seem to be interfering because I wasn’t trying to do what I love with more regularity; I always kept my writing on the back burner. Now, I am giving the things I LOVE to do more priority. That, in itself, seems to have angered some menacing sprites and they are working overtime to derail my joy. Well! I won’t let them!

Ha, the sprites! They mess with everything. I know the feeling!

Take time away from the well for a day or two and it tends to fill up again

I think it needs to be dug deeper.

Just let it happen. My last dry well eventually produced when I stopped trying

Your time isn't wasted when you're doing things like this.

I try to do this while I’m wasting time on other things.

I can relate. So easily relate!

If I can spend less time in my commute, I would relate less to this poem. 😢😒

We all have time wasters!

Time dripping away,

mindless tasks wearing us out.

We need a breather.
