The Time Wasting Experiment, launched in 2009 (and ongoing via a Tumblr blog), is a compilation of Portland, OR artist Alyson Provax‘s introspective examination of days spent at work, seemingly with little output. To document the process, a selection of her observations are available as simple 5X5″ letterpress prints. While the examples are specific to her experience, the themes are universal and I recognize my own proclivity to procrastinate in more than a few of them. How powerful it would be to frame one of the prints and display it in your bathroom; a reminder upon waking to make the most of the day. (Or alternatively, to realize that time considered wasted was actually a catalyst for creativity.)
