-Get more hits for the website: Write a random list full of ***** ideas and submit it to digg, they love that stuff - openaddy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+36Article should have been titled "How Not To Have Any Free Time"...
- Mongolai, on 10/11/2007, -2/+30I bet this article was written in the author's "free time".
Most of those suggestions sound like normal work-related duties to me. - BowZzer, on 10/11/2007, -2/+27dork

- philwalsh, on 10/11/2007, -2/+21reading this articles was certainly NOT a productive way to use my free time.
- bickdigg, on 10/11/2007, -6/+23inaccurate, you can have fun in 10- minutes. how long for a quick wank or a joint?
- BowZzer, on 10/11/2007, -3/+18why are all the pot smoking comments getting buried? I love 'em!
- WoollyMittens, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14That's exactly why I let my todo-list ripen. Most problems solve themselves after a few hours.
- timusca, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15Other than "Make Money", the list is really just "20 Things I'm Too Damn Lazy To Do With My Free Time".

http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-do-basic-deskercise - DrDragun, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12how about schmooze with friends at work? o wait, people who try to plan every 30 seconds of their day don't have friends. they also make terrible parents because they try to proactively cram their entire day with tasks instead of leaving some time to react to their kids needs or have some downtime. driving your kid to karate practice is not spending "quality time" with them
- chaesar, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12yeah doggie, RTFA already
on a sidenote, number 22 is:
"Hold a gun to your head and feel the cold steel on your skin. Imagine how much more serene you would be if a hunk of lead passed through your brain at 250 feet per second. Realize your life insurance is enough to cover the mortgage and put Billy through college. Slowly pull the trigger and....oh ***** Fred is here! Put the gun away, go have some coffee and talk about the game last night, you can always shoot yourself tomorrow." - develdevil, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9If it's productive, then its not free.
- PrincessZelda, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9If you can't find enough books, movies, projects, friends for conversation, etc, etc to fill your time you FAIL at life.
It's a big world. If anybody's really sitting around wishing an article would come along and suggest they make some phone calls I think they've spent too much time burnt out on the web.
Get some air sucker. - digghasnoethics, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10A lot of those take more than 5-10 mins to do properly. Items such as brainstorming take a minimum of 30mins if you are going to make progress.
The best use of 5-10 mins? Working out what items you can drop entirely without anyone realising. At least 50% of tasks are pointless. Get rid of those and you have much more free time. - bluebearr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8I especially "liked" this one:
> Reading file. Clip magazine articles or print out good articles or reports for reading later, and keep them in a folder marked “Reading File”.
Gee, maybe instead of spending all this effort to maintain a reading file, I might actually, I don't know, READ the articles? - android32, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10No more LifeHack articles please, whoever writes them is a failure at life. I don't want to ***** do ***** related to work in my free time because it's my FREE TIME. I'll do whatever I goddamn please, I don't need to be told by a "lifehacker" that I should be more productive in my free time. LifeHack is a waste of bandwidth.
- PGvildys, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Yeah, buried for lameness indeed.
- Frisbinator, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7That article was shallow and stated the obvious. The vast majority of the ways listed are things that most people would be able to easily think of on the fly. The other ways listed just were not feasible. I'm sorry, but spontaneously working up a sweat three times a day would just look and feel goofy, even if you were alone.
- HughbertD, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Thats actually on there.
- chaesar, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5If you have a stressful job/life, not doing anything for even 5 minutes, clearing your mind of everything, is a good way to prepare for the rest of the day. It's like rebooting your computer, clears all the ***** out, lets you get more done with the time you do have. Even closing your eyes, relaxing and concentrating on one thing like your breathing is enough to accomplish this.
- codmate, on 10/11/2007, -5/+10LifeHack is rubbish at life.
- rationalthinker, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4***** article.. someone go write an article about how to get time back after wasting it on reading a ***** article. No doubt, it'll get dugg to the front page.
- thedarkrabbit, on 10/11/2007, -2/+521. Get away from your computer for 20 minutes and take a walk, tubby.
- smakusdod, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I agree. This post is complete crap, and is only there to generate ad revenue.

- markforbrains, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3riveting...a reading file? Most people don't need a special book of secrets to read stuff that they want to.
- Makubex, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Top twenty ways to productively spend your free time:
1. Masturbate. - JayCruz, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3"Cranking a Widget" is a phrase used by the productivity cult messiah David Allen of the Getting Things Done Church. It's used in the context of simplifying whatever it is you do(work, hobbies and like stuff) so that you don't think that much about doing and just do it.
- bigapple666, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Does anyone really have a 5 year plan, and if so why? Just live your life and relax. Do what you want and if you have FREE time, be thankful enough to enjoy it without filling it up with meaningless tasks.
- Darksaber11, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3I'm going to sound conceited if I say this, but I fell like I need to say it anyway. Any idiot should already be able to think of doing these things. I mean, isn't that what most people do when they have like 5-10 minutes free?
- michelebot, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Like I have any free time.........
- danieldeyoung, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2How'd that get dugg down? It's the most sensible comment here. Why would anyone want to have productive free time? In my free time I like to do whatever the ***** I want, not be productive. It's a frickin oxymoron.
- rswelling, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Shouldn't the goal be to work less and have more free time? Not fill your ever dwindling free time with rubbish designed to make you a more productive drone. Here's an idea, quit your ***** job, take some mushrooms and expand your reality. it's fear that makes you shallow.
- Babel33, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Buried for lameness.
So, I didn't see much positive feedback regarding this article. This, like most "Lifehacker" articles I've read, has been complete rubbish. Boring, redundant, nothing but rehash. I would comment on the article and it's list, but enough has been said already. It was pointless.
My observation is that it seems there are enough logical, "omg-I-can-think-for-myself" people on Digg to bury the droves of bad articles that come from Lifehacker (Yes, yes, thinking for oneself != Digg user, harhar. I await comments refuting this). Why is it that sub par articles from this site so often have such high Digg counts? Is it the roaming bands of Lifehacker disciples, putting together their "Reading Folders" and Digging? - Gir53457, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Level my Night Elf Hunter

- lintmonkey, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Is there any way to block seeing a digg submission from a specific domain? Because I haven't seen a single story from lifehack.com that hasn't made me want my three seconds of my life back after reading it.
- MrJinks, on 10/11/2007, -5/+6Productive free time? What kind of free time is that?!

- yomamaisfat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1They forgot: procrastinate to get it out of the way so then you can start your productivity afterwards or if necessary further procrastination.
- amberica, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Loved the article. Also what I love to do is to push-ups or crunches during commercial breaks
