Scrolling on TikTok is probably one of the most time-consuming ways I waste my time. While scrolling is entertaining, it takes time and attention away from my more urgent tasks. It steers me away from time management and productivity.

Similar to TikTok scrolling, I tend to scroll on Instagram rails whenever I'm bored or whenever I'm on my phone. This affects my ability to complete assignments or even day-to-day tasks that are urgent.

Block Blast is a game that I play whenever I have spare time or whenever I don't feel like scrolling on social media. Usually, I spend an unreasonable amount of time on this game and it puts a dent in my time management skills.

While I love a good nap, napping is time-consuming. In my case, I usually nap anywhere between 1 to 3 hours which can shrink the time I put aside for urgent tasks.

I don't usually spend my time texting but when I do, I can get carried away. It's very distracting and it takes my attention away from academic responsibilities.

This is my favorite quote because it's very relatable. Not completing any tasks and doing frivolous activities might seem more relaxing but when reality catches up with an individual it can be quite diminishing. Knowing you're behind is not a good feeling

For me creating a checklist helps me get a visual of all the things that must be completed. Staying organized is essential when dealing with a good sum of tasks. There is also a positive connotation behind checking off a box on your checklist.

Putting urgent tasks before frivolous tasks can increase an individual's motivation along with their time management skills. Completing urgent tasks can allow you to indulge in other less important tasks providing a sense of gratification.
