10 Ways You Waste Your Own Time
Asking for everyone’s opinion
While it’s good to have a handful of confidantes in whom you confide when making big decisions (like which home to buy or which job to take), needing opinions from dozens of people on every choice shows hints of codependency. And it’s a huge waste of time. If you can’t get dressed until you’ve sent a photo of three outfit choices to five friends and gotten their opinions, getting dressed goes from a 10-minute to a 45-minute activity. Sometimes, we ask for opinions on things that really, nobody else should have input on. Like whether or not to end a relationship. All of the information you need for that one is usually in your gut. Having lunch with four friends to go over it is just a way of usually prolonging the inevitable.
