Most are wasting time but have no idea because they were conditioned to do so.

Below is a list I have spent years wasting time on. Not only wasting time, but the time I could spend improving my life, not escaping it. These are 15 things I am working on cutting from my life.
- People-pleasing: It’s damn exhausting. If you are the unfortunate one with this stellar trait, work on it. Sooner than later. It’s a miserable life. Impossible to please everyone and a complete waste of time
- Gossip: If you find yourself, or those close to you gossiping about people, remove or limit your time with them.
- Toxic relationships: Did they cheat on you? Were you lied to? Wait! They said they would change? They won’t. They definitely won’t. Remove them from your life and find someone that respects you. Put your time into them, not wasting it on those that showed you who they are.
- Health. Fast food may be quick, and some even say it tastes good. But with age and consumption, you will quickly find out why “convenience” is a waste of time.
- Rumination: Obsessively thinking about people, events, and things you can not and will not change/control. Put that energy into yourself. Time well spent, not wasted.
