Tired of wasting time watching cat videos and five-minute detours past graffiti on Facebook walls?

Then you've come to the right place.
Here is a list of websites that know how precious it is a village time and it's a good thing that there isn't one that calculates how many hours you've wasted on Facebook. Oops, basically there is. Click here, if you dare to check... But what happened was what happened. There is still time to improve and raise the level of your game. You can do it!
