It’s Monday morning. You have a staff meeting in an hour, a presentation due, and lunch with a client. But instead of preparing for any of them, you’re wasting time. I want to know how and where. What are your favorite websites for procrastinating? I found this list of pages to peruse rather than do your job while I was supposed to be coming up with this Coffee Break. Don’t tell myo, he’ll dock my pay.
SFW only please, Deadsplinters!

That should have been obvious to me, lol.
Nailed it, @HammerZeitgeist.

You may never need another website. It’s a collection of thousands of titles in the public domain, including many, many classics. It’s from them that I got Woolf’s To the Lighthouse and Lawrence’s Women in Love, both of which I’m still slogging through. I don’t really have an e-reader so I choose the “view in HTML” feature.
I’ve been downloading books from them for years. Great site.
My company hired 5 people this summer and my CEO has determined that our 9 AM Monday meeting is no longer efficient (as if it ever were).
I am thrilled! That meeting was the bane of my existence for 5+ years!
Woohoo! Happy Monday @MegMegMcGee

I forgot about this one, lol.
…so…part of me is surprised no one said this already…& another part worries that I might be about to destroy somebody’s productivity…but maybe it’s just me?

unfortunately that doesnt seem to be how i work

Dear Prudence, on Slate. Or Ask A Manager. I like advice columns because people are soooo dumb.
I do too. The pandemic put a damper on Ask a Manager though. There haven’t been as many crazy office antics.
