The Waaaaayaaaaaiting is the Hardest Part
Okay, so I did a little experiment. I was waiting for my computer to start up yesterday morning and I thought "Damn, I hate waiting."
You're familiar with that feeling I assume.
I'm not necessarily an impatient person. Traffic doesn't ruin my day. I'll let folks with just a few items cut in front of me at the grocery store. But with two full-time jobs these days time has become a more precious commodity and I realized my patience - like my hair - is thinning.
I put a stopwatch (thanks iPhone!) to the madness on Monday. Every time I waited - for an Internet site to load, stopped in traffic, on hold on the phone, whatever - I started the clock.
I was amazed at how much time I spent doing absolutely nothing. Any guesses?
Try 39 minutes and 42 seconds.
I thought that was high - it does, after all, add up to almost 10 full days over a year - but I'm guessing there are those of you that sit more doing less?
