Great article, it’s true.. you can be productive without even thinking about it. In fact, I think that’s the greatest productivity of all.

Came across your blog today and read a couple of posts, including this one. I have to say they are spot on… really good work Ravi :)

The only thing I do not agree with is the post title, since I do not see the points you outline as a waste of time. If you have more important work to do and do one of the above instead, you are still not wasting time. You made a conscious decision to use your time resource for something else. Economists call it opportunity cost. Others call it procrastination. ;)

It is what you do with your time that counts. Anyway, I have to agree that the blog post title is catchy :)

Great stuff, i highly recommend anime and any educational media, especially the channels you mentioned. We hobo’s dont just waste time in front of a pc nor a tv, ask a worker-bee about string theory… ya exactly!

Great article! Who says “doing nothing” is wasting time? I often learn far more from reading, observing, watching TV and meditating than I would from school or textbooks.

I’m not good at many puzzles, but I am hooked on Sudoku. My mind is concentrating on all those numbers and in the back of my head ideas start churning. I end up with the notebook next to me for most of the game!
