Losing Track of Time – Daily Writing Prompt

Daily writing prompt
Which activities make you lose track of time?

I would definitely say that reading a good book is the best thing that makes me lose track of time. It normally has to be some sort of fantasy fiction book. The story needs to transport me to another time in another world or another version of the world that we currently live in. I want to be able to use my imagination a bit in picturing it. I don’t want it to remind me of mundane day to day life.

A few of my favorite series are Harry Potter, Eragon, and FableHaven/DragonWatch. All of these series take you to a different world where things exist outside of the normal. I have read all of these multiple times, and they just never get old. I enjoy them every time and can get lost in the story. Each time I read them, I always discover something new in the storyline.

Unfortunately though reading a good book isn’t the only thing that makes me lose track of time. I would say scrolling through social media is another big time stealer of mine. I can flip back and forth between different social media apps and lose an hour of time just like that. Breaking this habit is something that I hope to do, but that is a work in progress.
