- you spend time on useless things. <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
- you don't rest, nor regain energy. <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->

- you regret losing your precious time. <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
- you feel miserable and tired. <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->

- Should I try the other one? <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
