It’s fine to waste time while working naked

home office expertI’m all about saving time and making the most of every minute but at some point, enough is enough. Some days, especially after a tough week, there’s nothing wrong with wasting time.  In fact I encourage it.

If you’re an obsessed entrepreneur—I include myself in this group—you’re going to make up the wasted time at night or over the weekend anyway, so cut loose. Here are four great ways to waste time (electronically):

  • Create an Avatar of yourself. My younger son created an animated version of me through the South Park website. He gave me sunglasses—he thought they made me look cool—and an interesting outfit. For those of you who know me, the top half is purely wishful thinking on my part!
  • Play one (or more) of the 3,000 free computer games on Addicting Games. I tried Valet Parking Pro but after a few tries the game let me know I drove too slowly to be a valet. Computer games are not my biggest strength.
  • Download free apps from iTunes. A few of my favorites are Cool Facts, Pocket God and Bubble Wrap. I keep trying to convince my sons to create an app and make millions. They’re not interested.
  • Watch videos online. YouTube and funny or DIE are filled with great videos that are the perfect timewasters. If you’re going to waste time, you might as well spend it laughing.

Working Naked is hard work so you can give yourself permission to waste time without feeling guilty.
