How does one stop wasting time?

Probably an Internet forum is the wrong place to ask this question but I really need to know.

Answers from people with postcounts over 2,000 will be taken with a grain of salt. ;) (not meant as a dig, I probably have around 50,000 posts at various forums around the net)

Depends on what's making you waste it, in my opinion.

(assuming you're talking about YOURSELF wasting time, therefore not prepping for PO effects, yes?)

If it's a feeling of being overwhelmed by too much to do, then I recommend doing your prepping with "baby steps". Break it up. Do it incrementally.

If it's a feeling of being depressed, then get to the root of the depression.

If you're not sure WHICH thing to do then break up your tasks into categories "Food", "Water", "Shelter", "Energy", "Security". Work on one each day for 30 mins and then move on to the next for the next day.

Become as informed as you possibly can. No one has any idea what the future will bring, so the more eventualities you are prepared for, the more likely you will survive.

Make a list. Prioritize. Choose your battles. Know what is important to you. As you make you list your priorities may change. As you choose your battles your list may change. Knowing what is important to you (not what someone else tells you should be important) is a good starting point. Figure that part out first and the rest will start to fall into place.
Live simply, love generously, care deeply, and speak kindly.
