&gt;Then there&#x27;s the entertainment aspect: What&#x27;s wrong with &quot;wasting&quot; time if you&#x27;re enjoying yourself?<p>About the entertainment aspect. I think the point here is following: modern web media&#x2F;pics&#x2F;etc is too attractive and people can&#x27;t focus on things what really matter. Every website with &quot;funny cats&quot; tries very hard to retain you as user and your attention -&gt; entertain you more. I think many people (myself included) fall in risk group and can&#x27;t actually measure&#x2F;control time spent on procrastination while browsing infinite number of subreddits or something for interesting stuff. Even when i really need things to be done - there is something that can immediately capture my attention. And I have to say I am not alone.<p>The root cause here is inability to focus on important things and finally quit procrastination.
