  1. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Ryujinx)
  2. ChatGPT-4o
    • Usage that deviates from what I had intended: off-topic, autopiloting, being pulled instead of being in control
  3. Twitch.tv
  4. Discord
  5. Updating this site manually
    • I planned to just update the graphs within 5 minutes.
    • I spent 59 minutes on trying to do more than just this.
    • The "more than just this" consists of things I didn't plan to do initially and don't add additional value.

  1. Messages (Kept rewriting an important text to two people; Spent longer than needed replying to others)
  2. Netflix (Once I hit play the day dissolves away; Didn't set limits, and even if I had, I wouldn't have adhered to them. Netflix shows, the ease of hitting "Next Episode", "Skip Intro", +/- 10 seconds, and the show being in a language that I don't understand well requires me to read the subtitles--i.e., keep me glued to my phone screen. Phones are small, and narrowly focusing our vision intensifies our perseverance to the object of focus.)
  3. Twitch (Once I hit play the day dissolves away. Just kidding this time. Valorant Worlds airing live from Seoul. I watched only Game 1 out of 3 of the series before painfully closing the browser to switch tasks.)
  4. Google Docs (Spent an hour on logging info on NeurIPS reviews I'm overseeing. I should've planned a faster way to do this for 5m and then finished it in 15m instead of 65m.)
  5. Wikipedia (Actually, this was probably a time saver. I read the synopsis of the show I was watching so that I wouldn't watch any more of it, which saves ~10 hours for the cost of 20m.)

  1. League of Legends (Deleterious proxy for sense of advancement in real life)
  2. Twitch (Valorant Worlds live from Seoul)
  3. Discord (runaway conversations with friends)
  4. Amazon (partially, any usage other than reviewing and buying the items or their alternatives that I had intended to buy)
  5. TCGPlayer (Checking prices of various cards when there are infinite cards)
  6. YouTube (almost certainly productive usage--ML lecture)
  7. ChatGPT (runaway conversations, unnecessary inquiries and conversations)

Twitch usage is mostly because Valorant Champions 2024 was airing live from Seoul, Korea, and this starts after midnight for me.
