Wasting Time

There are times when even the most dedicated procrastinator needs a little help to find something mindless with which to fill their time.

And it is in that spirit I provide this list of the ten most time-devouring websites I could find in order to help you all wile away the hours you should be spending doing housework, writing essays, practicing musical instruments, cleaning a house… whatever you thought about doing before clicking the link you did to land right here.

I am listing them in order of the amount of time I could conceivably spend waste on each site. Click the images to go direct to the sites:

Ok, once you have visited this site once, you will not need to revisit... but it's a bit of pointless unnecessary fun so well worth a look! Enjoy!

If you want to get self-righteous for a moment, what better way than to mock the grammar of others. This “blog” is a great place to do just that - and links to other similarly sanctimonous places.

Some great number games and general maths-based silliness.

This site is exactly what it claims to be; a simple collection of useless information. Admittedly there is a finite amount to read, but still it is a great way to kill a few hours.

A brilliant source of word-play, anagrams, tongue-twisters, puzzles and more.

Jokes, funny pictures and some little moments of inspiration. A real hotchpotch of time-wastery if ever I saw it.

A brilliant mix of both humorous and plain interesting images. Nothing clever, no reading to be done – just a collection of great pictures to browse through.

This is brilliant for bookheads such as myself. You do need to sign up for the site, but it is free to do so and as with most sites nowadays will work off your facebook profile so is a fairly simple process. Once your account is set up, though, you can browse reading lists, get suggestions of books to read, take quizzes and much more besides.

Okay – this won’t interest you much if you are not that interested in learning a new language – or rejuvenating an old one, but this site is a huge consumer of time. There are sections in most languages and the collection of lessons is growing daily - I do constantly find myself thinking ‘just one more set of words’ and looking at my watch to find another hour has passed.

As a lover of the weird and wonderful, this site has plenty to keep me interested. Even to just look through the daily news round-up will send me on enough of a tangent to pass a few hours without even thinking about back-tracking on the existing content.

So there you go; hopefully you should find enough there to keep you going for a while!


Still got time to spare?
