Is TSR a waste of time?

What does TSR mean to you?

Are there any particular benefits you have reaped from using TSR (if you're a non-applicant)?

Yes, I've met some nice people and some interesting people and it saves me from daytime TV :tongue:

Ahaha, fair enough :redface:

Have been reading and watching things related to productivity/ self-help and it's making me feel guilty about the amount of time I waste a day :lol:

I swear time moves faster on here, hahah.

Friendships and I've developed a heck of a lot of transferable skills.

Maybe it's different for people who should be studying but for me (working part time) it's either TSR or Homes under the hammer/Loose Women

I've never met anyone else who likes homes under the hammer but I love it. Makes me feel like an old man watching it though

It means I don't shout in the face of people on the street, so I would say it's useful.

Yes tsr probably is a waste of my time. But I don't have the self discipline to do something productive so I may as well use it.

Project planning, leadership, content creation etc.

There's more but I'm at work so :tongue:

Ah ok, makes sense.

Definitely TSR wins (especially the law forum :wink:

) in that case, hahah.

I just love it when they buy some dump for £50,000 and say they're going to completely renovate it on a budget of about £5,000. "We'll put in a new kitchen, bathroom, floors, windows....." :rofl:

Or £2000 because they're gonna do the work themselves; only needs a lick of paint which the buyer will do alongside his full-time SIA gig at Asda.

Ahh, okay makes sense.

Can't apply that to my life then, sadly. :frown:

Do not get drawn into the black hole of Homes under the hammer ..... before you know where you are you'll be buying some dump in Merthyr Tydfil at auction.
