Honestly, can you say that most of your time is well spent? like you have not wasted any of it trying to figure out what you have not done when in fact you have only wasted your time in some nonsense things that you are used to doing?
i'd say i always complained about how short time is at times.. but i realized really.. it just must be me that it is short because i have not spent it well enough to count.

I think if you enjoyed your time then it's time well spent, you can't get it back. you should try to enjoy everything and live life to the fullest and all that cliche lol. it's true thats why it's a well said saying. I think I waste my time a lot because I spend it worrying about the future and I have to try to enjoy the now which can be difficult if your not in a good way in your head. I say if you were happy and enjoyed your time and or did something productive then people shouldn't be complaining about wasting their time.

Friend I have less time so I cant waste my time in silly things like talking about other women or complaint to other person. I always wants to use my time in good work like reading books, working on net etc.

I'm great at wasting my time. There are times when I would just lie down doing nothing. Actually thinking of what to do the next day and then when that day comes, I would do the same thing. There are times, though, that I wanna be productive. I organize my stuff, plan on future expenses, some things like that. I guess it all depends on my mood.

I think a good chunk of my time tends to be rather well spent. Not all of it granted, as no one is really perfect. However, I find that a lot of my time is really more than well spent to say the very least. I try and manage what time that I have to get the most that I can out of every little bit of life. There are a lot of times where I find myself without enough time so it really needs to be managed.
Do I succeed all of the time? Sadly no, but I think that I have a moderate enough success rate. At least moderate enough to make me rather pleased with the entire situation. Life tends to be one of those things where time never really seems to be on my side. Therefore, I find myself trying to manage what time that I have. Again, to varying degrees of success, but I really find that I have made good enough with the cards that I've been dealt.

Wow what a question! It is the type that makes you go, "hmmmm" lol. At this point of my life, I don't think that most of my time is well spent. I'm on my last year in college and I do think that I'm spending my school time wisely but its my free time that I don't maximize as much.

I spent only two hours per day to discuss and comment on the discussions of mylotters. I have not that much time to work on myLot. But I have interest to share knowledge with mylotters.

times passed so fast when you are busy and have a lot of work done. you can say time is so short. but when you are doing nothing and idle, you will say time is so slow. so i feel to say i spent my time well especially when i spent my time on mylot.

For me, time well spent is time I spend with my family and my kids. I may not have the luxry of time to be spending time so much with them since my work is at nights. I make sure that I spend the weekends with them. Sometimes I would spend the whole day with tem at home or at the malls during weekends when they are at home away from school. It is very imperative that I do this while I still can, and while they are still kids. Time will have to catch up and they will be growing up soon, and I will never again have the chance to spend time with them at this stage in the future. I just simply have to make the most out of time given me now.

Probably 30% of my time is well spent. Sigh, it's not a good rating I really really wish I could improve. I'm probably a little slow in finishing up my tasks and projects.. I blame it on my perfectionism that's why I never get things done quickly.. Then suddenly when I get bored of trying to make it perfect I get easily distracted with other stuff, my concentration somehow flies out the window..

i don't know. sometimes i think i am wasting time doing something, because i find a lot of things interesting, and i tend to think i am wasting time finding out information i will never use. but then i find it wasn't a waste of time at all, because while wasting that time i acquired a skill, or a piece of information that enabled me to do something more useful.
but then again, there are some things that really are time wasting. i think its knowing the difference, that matters.
