The average American wastes 2½ hours a day dreamscrolling – searching for dream purchases or things they fantasize about owning one day.

That’s 873 hours a year – more than a full month of their life out of touch with reality online.

And in a recent OnePoll survey, of those daydreamers one in five say they spend between three and four hours a day multitasking while working.

There’s dreamscrolling and then there is doing research for a planned purchase – often two different things.

Being mindful of the amount of time wasted in a non-productive way is a first step in putting the time to better use.
