This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

      I haven't truly wasted any time in the last 3 months. This is why abundance/waste has been on my mind for a while. Time is the main thing I waste to keep me fueled up in abundance mode. I have to fix my broken time-wasting ability.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1261761799176642561 …

      No matter what the challenge or environment, I've found that basically the only way to tackle it in a generative way is to come at it with an attitude of abundance. There must be some X factor you're willing to simply waste in responding to the challenge.

      My @basicmansion project is delayed "waste more time" project. Really weird to think of wasting time as a project that can get delayed. But @scorpioseasontv is helping me waste time properly though. I have to waste at least 30% of my time to make the other 70% interesting

      Wasted time is my highest value time. I think it's become hard for practical reasons. For example, my 2 favorite ways to do it -- taking long walks and letting my mind wander, and sitting with a blank notebook in Starbucks to randomly core dump are difficult/impossible right now

      But there's also an inner constraint. Something about quarantine conditions prevents time from flowing freely enough to be wasted at all. It's boxed in. All time is either time-boxed or inaccessible.

          I am experiencing similar. I think domestic situation has a lot to do with it for me. Having kids and partner on hand 24/7 imbues everything with an imposed meaningfulness that is hard to escape.

          Im what terms would you classify your ‚non-wasted time‘ ?! I recently think a lot what is really ‚wasted‘ when it comes to my time.
