Wasting time is as old as well, time itself. As long as people have had productive tasks that need doing, they have found ways to avoid them. In celebration of your commitment to convert those wasted minutes to useful, career-boosting training time. Here's our list of ten mostly-useless things you could easily replace with ten minutes of Nuggets.
1) Very important internet news
2) We'll just call this "non-essential research".
