I refer to myself as a data cruncher. By that, I mean that I enjoy researching odds and ends, trivia, and the occasional useful item. Sifting through an article to find the one piece in information I was looking for doesn’t bother all that much. Now, that kind of habit can be good or bad. Like so many other habits, it is all in how it is used.

Much of the time, the research serves no real purpose. It might be a way to pass time, but I’m sure I could find better ways to spend that time. Looking up trivia, movies, things like that don’t really do any good. I might find a use for that someday, but it is rare.

There are times my research is for something specific, those times are useful. I might be looking for a website script that I can use for a project, or researching a Bible topic. I have a use for that, and it isn’t a waste of time.

Filling my head with a bunch of junk food won’t do me any good, it needs nutritious information, just like my body.
