Learn English with this time English lesson

I was about to waste some time and space out  for a while before i decided to give Englishbaby a visit that encouraged me to learn some new words about watsing time in particular. So, now there is a good feeling that i used that time to my benefit at least! :-)

WELL , i alwyes wanna to be productive person but unfortunately i cant all the time like jeff he is totlally right coz everyone needs a time which he doesnt do anything on it just wasted , i usually wast my time when i was free or i was tired but u know what after that i feel guilty and i feel i should have doing something in that wasted time :d

Everybody wastes their times once a while xD

Indeed whatever you do time as always is involve. For me, I make sure that whatever i do, it is the best for i don’t like if time is not spend wisely.

I consider “wasting time”, when you do stuffs you don’t like.

In my opinion, if u r working in a position u don’t like i consider it equal to wasting a time, and also if u don’t have a plan for ur day so you will waste much time than organizing ur day according to a specific schedule.

i sleep,i watch tv i sit around.i feel frustrating and boring.i wish less time but i graduated in B.A. 4 years ago.i teach every day in morning and afternoon i waste my time and it really bothers me and im single and i havent alot of responsibilities …

I said I like to wast time sometimes, but I see this expression like “give a break for a while” or something like that. But if you stop and think, you’re not “wasting you time” because you will take an advantage of this situation and I  totally agree with you, Nabilo! Mainly when you say 

“I also find ambling around or hanging out with friends is not a kind of time wasting at all because we simply need to do that regularly in order to remain productive at work or during studying. I find wasting time is like when someone everyday sleeps longer than a human needs;) or sitting around and spacing out all the time because we don’t need that every time. It’s true that we need to be alone from time to time, but that could be kind of frustrating if we lose control of this.”

I feel that I NEED waste time sometimes, it’s good and give a break to you and your brain can relax a little bit. It’s relaxing and can even make you put your mind in order.

I like to space out, just thinking about life or others stuffs without importance, just thinking about the past and these things sometimes. It makes me feel good, calm and in peace, I think. It’s good to think about life sometimes and is also good to think about nothing :D Just relax and forget the troubles for a while!

It’s also good read, watch TV, surf on internet, listen to music, talk to people! And I don’t think that you won’t be productive doing that, you can be even more productive because you will be giving a break to yourself and it will calm you down and than you will be able to think clearly and it will let your mind fresh and able to think properly and have good, creative and new ideas.

May I suggest that maybe most of the time that is wasted, no matter how it is wasted – hours in front of a TV, hours lying in bed, etc. – that this wasted time is due to depression.  Would you suggest that depression is a matter of ‘choice?’ I would, non-professionally, say that maybe not, and that these ‘wasted’ moments are the mind’s way of trying to find some peace-of-mind – ‘wasting time’ may be the mind’s way of coping and trying to protect itself.  I have read something about a medical procedure called ‘cingulotomy.’  This may be a way for those people who habitually waste time to find some way of escaping their feelings of hopelessness – a natural feeling, maybe for depression.  Anyway, has anyone seen my TV Guide?  :)

 IRENE,  I am with you. We are  on this site  to learn english in a fun way, EB is a wonderful tool  to accomplish  it. As you stated, we are far from perfect ,we make mistakes  all along,  and nobody cares, what is important   is that members are willing to communicate  their thoughts  in a positive  way , mistakes are welcome , we all do , they are part of the process of learning .As everything in life ,  if we want to dance we have to go to the dance ball and dance ,at the beginning we  might  look awkward but with practice we could be  a new Fred Astaire  or Ginger Rogers.   lol. 

no, i don’t have time waste , quite on the contrary , the things waiting for me to do are piling up , if anyone wanna give some of their unwanted time to me , i’d be happy to accept it .for me , killing time is the hardest thing  to do .

As SEIYF    i have an interesting story about wasting our time.  Yesterday i came across a friend in the street, he was in the company of his son who is in his thirties  and with a severe case of autism,  nonetheless, I decided to start a conversation with him, soon to realize that I was wasting my time , but then  without looking at my ayes  he muttered a few unintelligible words .I knew that he was  responding me.   That made my day. 

I agree with Jeff ,we have to find a  balance  in our life. Is not that we should be all the time workalcoholics or couch patatoes.  Now the catch is Internet, facebook, text massaging but what about  visiting  a museum,  the zoo, an acuarium, going out for  a walk and sitting in a park bench  feeding the pigeons, and at the same time basking in the sun. I don´t know, but I think Jeff needs to take some days off  to asses why  he is going  through  this dry spell , what changes are necessary  to  boost his vitality.

What is the wasting time?

When I enjoy of something then its not wasting time!

I waste my time when I have to do anything I dont like!

I have many responsibilities at my work , I never sit when I’m working!! :))

Also I have more responsibilities in my home!

Furthermore I do my handmades as my hobbies!

And when I’m sure I have done all my works I enjoy of being on Ebaby or talk with my dear friends or watching my favorite programs on TV!

If I didnt have these enjoyable times I couldnt work well because they give me energy and morale to work better!:)

Then there is no Wasting time for me! :D

I do not consider Ebaby as a waste of time. Nor do I consider sitting around, playing car races with my youngest brother, playing bowling with my friends, watching TV, especially the news channels, watching English or American soap operas on TV or my laptop, going to a cafe with my family or friends, going shopping, talking on the phone like a quick talk, though, unless an urgent business talk, sleeping or reading this comment as a waste of time. :))) 

It all has a reason, but the point is they all should be done moderately, not excessively. If done, excessively, yeah, it is called “wasting time.” 

Nabilo, each lesson given us from Ebaby is a wonderful gift we accept being grateful. Of course, people who knows English better than we do are our teachers here, and thank God I have them as my dear friends. The more we write, the better our spelling is, the more we talk, the closer we are to communication with others without thinking in our native language.

We are all not perfect here, I don’t mean native speakers, but we are all trying to do our best to be understandable by them.:)

Seiyf, nooooo. Please, write a few words. :)
