One thing I hate is when someone says that they're killing time. Rav Meir gave a great shiur at Pardes about spending time rather than killing time, and it really stuck with me. I don't want to waste ANY time in my life. I want to spend all of it in productive, enjoyable, or relaxing ways.
But...then I heard this story on NPR about this guy who was trapped in the rubble of his music school in Haiti. He survived for 18 hours, and he said that he kept himself entertained by going through all of these complex and long musical pieces. He said that he would schedule his whole day so that he had piece after piece to go through. He said that he was killing time. I think that he was killing time, and I think that in that case, it's okay.
