Do you know what your time suckers are? Do you know those things that you are doing to sort of pacify yourself or escape, procrastinate the things that you know you should be doing, but you really don't want to.

I'm going to talk to you about my time suckers today and some ways that I am making a change. Hey, Cutterbugs, welcome back to the clutterbug podcast.

Today I want to talk about really my biggest addiction. That's what it comes down to. I think all of us have things that we do when we're procrastinating these time suckers, these ways that we pacify ourselves and everybody's different, but we have these things
