Time Waster of the Day: DoNothingFor2Minutes.com invites you to do nothing for 2 minutes — on purpose.
Founder Alex Tew (of Million Dollar Homepage fame) explains the impetus for the site:
I had been thinking how we spend every waking minute of the day with access to an unlimited supply of information, to the point of information overload. i also read somewhere that there is evidence that our brains are being re-wired by the internet, because we get a little dopamine kick every time we check our e-mail or Twitter or Facebook and there’s a new update. So we’re all developing a bit of ADD. which is probably not great in terms of being productive.
So take a two minute break from information. Then come right back for more flashing lights and angry colors.
