The Time Fritter Critter
Origin: A temporal anomaly that realized it could feed off of entrepreneurs and small business owners
Favorite things: Unscoped busy work, HR and payroll tasks (which are both mindless and never ending)
Pet Peeves: Offloading benefits and HR to experts, people who understand what they’re doing enough to be efficient at it
The Time Fritter Critter absorbs all of those unproductive days where your admin to-do list seems to spiral on and on before you’ve even managed to check off your first item. Every time you’re shocked by the clock after sitting down to some “quick busy work,” the Time Fritter Critter gets a little stronger.

An afternoon goes by and nothing gets done.
