One of the beautiful things about modern technology is that we can do some much. One would think that helps productivity. But how many of us would be willing to admit that the plethora of distractions available to us end up taking more of our time than we plan?
Raise your hand if you know what I’m talking about.
Facebook is a big-time time pirate. I love connecting with old and new friends, but I always seem to spend more time on it than I originally had planned.
Tweetdeck is one of my pirates of choice lately. I turn it on to see what’s happening in Twitterdom and end up participating in about 3 or 4 discussions before realizing that I’ve lost some time.
Those are my big two. Unless you would also consider my penchant for playing MarioCart on the Wii with my kids. They like it when I win races for them and unlock other players and courses.
What arrrrr your time pirates? (I just couldn’t resist).
