Nevertheless you make yourself feel good by saying, "Oh I was in the library, or at my desk, or I had my books open?" And in reality you spent a lot of time day dreaming, reading a magazine or surfing the internet or just doing something completely unrelated to the real task?

I know the very nature of society, sees people work and study very hard, but perhaps we need to ask ourselves if the time we are devoting is really that effective, and if it is coming at the expense of other, just as important activities?
