10 Things You Should Stop Wasting Your Time Doing  Life is short, so fill it with the things that you enjoy and things that really matters mainly those that will yield positive results. 1) Stop wasting your time watching rubbish on TV How many times have you sat through an entire TV programme and then ended up complaining about how awful it was? This experience is too common not to learn from. Be proactive.

So, really, why bother putting it on in the first place? Give makeup a miss and you’ll be surprised how much time you’ll save. Besides, ultimately, no one will notice anyway - it’s a gym, remember? 3) Worrying about what other people thi...
