My spam filter has filtered out tens of thousands of spam comments since I installed it. While it occasionally fails to identify a comment as spam, it has never mistakenly put a real comment into the spam box. So why do I look at every comment in the spam box before deleting it? Shouldn’t the filter have earned my trust by now?
This is just one way in which I waste little slivers of time. Those little slivers have never seemed to have much value, because they are so small. I begin to wonder if I should be trying to salvage them, though. Could I create something for myself by cutting out stupid little tasks like individually deleting spam comments and then stitching all the little slivers of time into something bigger?
