Meaning of time-suck | Babel Free

Definitions

Noun. [B2]

Examples

“It was not just the writing itself that kept me on track but the taste⟳ it gave me of the freelance life, with its peculiar mix⟳ of freedom and uncertainty. Freelancing means getting up late? Goofing off? Writing when the spirit moves you? That’s one vision of it—and a sure prescription for failure. Early on, I became hyper-vigilant about my time and how I used it. I realized soon that interviews, hours in the library, and other research⟳ took as much time as the writing itself, and that time-sucks and distractions loomed everywhere.”
