Futzers of the world unite!
Hi. My name’s Dave and I’m a Futzer.
Compulsive browsing – or as I prefer to it, learning – has a new name: Futzing (which I discovered via Web Worker Daily. Defined by Tara Hunt as:
the process by which one wanders around without aim, having conversations (with new and old friends), gathering random information, learning ostensibly useless knowledge and avoiding all tasks/duties clear and present.
Of course the only other definition I can find is:
a sound as if it is coming over the telephone or radio
…so I’m happy to accept Tara’s one.
I’ve been futzing for years. I use the internet to constantly learn, although I don’t always realise the value of that learning until later on. Invariably though, what I have learnt always comes in useful.
