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.

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.

Keeping up with tasks day by day is a good way to stay organized and on top of things. It also motivates you to continue completing tasks as the days go by creating a sort of cycle.

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.
