When you're running your own show — quoting, inspecting, reporting, replying — it's easy to feel guilty the moment you stop.
The moment you sit on the lounge.
Scroll your phone.
Walk the dog.
Kick the footy with the kids.
Do “nothing.”
There’s a little voice that whispers:
“You should be doing something useful.”
But here’s the truth:
The time you enjoy wasting…
isn’t wasted at all.
In this line of work, being efficient matters.
Missing a detail in a report, taking too long on site, or losing track of client follow-ups? That can cost time and trust.
But somewhere along the way, “efficiency” became a badge of honour for always being on.
That’s not efficiency — that’s burnout in disguise.
Real efficiency?
It’s doing your work well — and still having time left for life.
Time spent doing something that lights you up — even if it’s unproductive by society’s standards — is still fuel.
It gives your brain space.
It gives your body rest.
It gives your mood a lift.
And it gives your family, clients, and workmates a better version of you.
So go ahead — sit still for a bit.
Call a mate. Watch the surf. Drink your coffee slow.
Whatever your version of “wasting time” is, enjoy it.
Because it matters.
This is also why we built SwiftReporter.
It’s not just about cleaner reports or faster workflows (though you’ll get both).
It’s about time.
The more time our software saves you, the more of it you get to “waste” — doing things that aren’t work.
And that’s not fluff. That’s freedom.
If it helps you feel better — it’s not wasted.
If it brings joy, clarity, or energy — it’s not lazy.
If it fills your cup so you can do better work — it’s part of the work.
Don’t apologise for taking a break.
You’re not a robot. You’re a human. And you’re allowed to feel good sometimes, even in the middle of a busy week.
Want more time to waste (in the best possible way)?
