I feel guilty a lot about wasting time. I feel that I should always be doing something or working on something. Not that I always do, but I do feel guilty. I think because we are taught that we are being lazy if we aren't working. Americans have become workaholics. Look at how many stay connected to their jobs with a laptop or cell phone at home. There is a lot of truth in taking the time to smell the roses. Life is short and there is time for work and play.
