I am in the “red corner” of productivity. I make a rough list of things I want to do, but I try to just focus on one or two things a day.

I think there is a danger with all this productivity focus. People seem to spend more time on the systems, tools and planning than they do on the actual work.

Just getting away from everything and clearing your brain often results in more productivity when you return, like your in-line skating example proved.

2) Most welcome, *hums ghostbusters theme*

If I had all the hours back I spent on gaming in a variety of forms, tv when I was in High School, I could become an expert in probably two or three fields if I followed the 10,000 hours principle.

1) Already busted. Haven’t owned a tv in years.

2) In progress. Thanks Christaan.

Sometime life itself is the timesuck.

I didn’t watch TV for about two years but now I’ve gotten sucked into a few shows, which is not so bad. It is the sitting down before hand and watching the random dreck afterward that sucks my time so bad.

Online surfing around is probably my biggest timesuck. I am even on vacation right now and on the computer!

I love your use of the word “fragging.” Oh how I miss those days.
