What are your biggest time wasters and why do you do them?

[Skys]

What are the biggest time-wasters in your life and why are you still doing them?
I am not talking about taking time off to read a blog to get yourself going again, I am talking truly time-wasting things you do where you know they are unproductive but you still do them.

For me, it's Social Media. Being aware of it, is the first step. To me, it's terrible I wasted so many hours watching others status updates while I could be working on my 10.000 hours (outliners).
Since this week, I am no longer checking Social Media. I already feel more productive about it.

I am very curious about your time-waster. Why? Because I might see a pattern that I am unaware of myself at this moment. A blind spot that makes me unproductive.
I seriously think that having a serious work-ethic is one of the most important factors of getting succesful thus it HURTS me, LITERALLY to be unproductive.
