Doing admin on a Sunday
I wonder what the psychological implications are of relatively important tasks (eg. banking and paying bills) being very similar, in terms of the physical actions required to complete them, to relatively unimportant tasks (eg. replying to jokey Facebook messages from friends-of-friends-of-friends and adding discs to my Lovefilm account).
All require a combination of me to sitting at a computer, entering a series of passwords, possibly digging out some paperwork for an obscure reference number, and hitting send when I’m sure I’ve put in the 20% effort required for 80% of the payoff.
Didn’t there used to be a difference between the frivolous and the serious? That you can (not that I have here) apply for a large amount of financial credit with very similar actions to those with which you can tend to your Farmville games seems very dangerous.
