One common element is distraction. Like in my story of getting distracted by a TV show while planning to study. Another is lack of self - discipline. If you can't stick to your original plan, time can easily be wasted. Also, unexpected things that draw our attention, such as an old photo album when you're supposed to be doing something else.
Well, a common element is often starting something unplanned. For example, you start looking at something out of curiosity and then lose track of time. Procrastination also plays a big role. You know you should be doing something important but keep putting it off and doing other unproductive things instead. And sometimes, over - estimating our ability to manage time. We think we can spare a few minutes for something else and end up spending hours on it.
Wasting time referred to wasting time, passing years in vain, and wasting time in life. This idiom was often used to describe wasting time without achieving anything. It came from the poem "Yong Huai" by Ruan Ji of the Jin Dynasty: "Entertainment is not ultimate, and the day is wasted." There were similar expressions in ancient literature. For example, Zhang Fengyi of the Ming Dynasty had a sentence in "The Story of the Garden: The Queen's Clothes":"If I can't take revenge and die, I will bury the Longquan Leopard Tao and waste my time." The usage of this idiom is more formal. It can be used as a verb or an object and has a negative meaning.
One key element could be despair. People in Skid Row might feel so hopeless that they waste time instead of trying to improve their situation.
" Time Is Not Lost " was an urban romance novel written by Ning Fan and Zhao Qingxue. The story was about the protagonist Ning Fan's peaceful life being completely changed by an accident. From then on, he embarked on a passionate and hot-blooded journey to the city. Ning Fan was an expert who was destined to have an extraordinary fate. The plot of this novel was compact, and the plot was obvious. The protagonist had complicated experiences and emotional entanglements, which brought a lot of fun to the readers. The novel had been completed and could be exempted from reading on some websites.
Well, it could also be a novel that is designed to be a form of escapism where the characters are in a state of 'wasting time' in a carefree way. For example, it might be set in a beach town where people laze around, have no real goals, and just enjoy the simple pleasures of life. The story could revolve around their interactions and the small events that occur during this 'wasted time' period.
I remember a time when I had a whole weekend to work on a project. I went online to do some research, but then I got sidetracked by social media. I spent hours scrolling through different feeds, looking at pictures and reading posts. When the weekend was over, I had hardly made any progress on my project. It was such a waste of valuable time.
The Wasted Years was first published in 2012. The novel was set in China from the 1930s to the 1950s, and through the story of three generations of a family, it showed the changes of Chinese rural society and the complexity of human nature. The protagonist of the novel was a farmer named Li Hongzhi. He and his family had experienced many hardships and setbacks in their wasted time. They struggled to survive in poverty, disease, war, and natural disasters. However, their experiences also contained hope and beauty. Through hard work and perseverance, they finally obtained happiness and dignity. Through vivid descriptions and deep thoughts, the novel shows the complexity of China's rural society and the beauty of human nature. At the same time, it also reflects the various problems and contradictions of the society at that time. It was a work of profound thought and literary value, which had an important impact on the history of Chinese literature.
The 'Skid Row Wasted Time Story' might be a narrative about how people in Skid Row, perhaps due to difficult circumstances like poverty, addiction, or lack of opportunities, end up spending their time in ways that don't lead to personal growth or positive change. For example, they might be trapped in a cycle of drug use or just wandering around with no real purpose because they don't have access to proper jobs or education.
Well, without more context, it's hard to say exactly. It could be a personal account of someone's wasted times, like a series of events in their life where they felt they didn't make the best use of their time. Maybe it involves regrets or lessons learned from those wasted periods.

You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.
Another one could be 'On the Road' by Jack Kerouac. The characters are constantly on the move, with no clear - cut destination or purpose in a sense, and it gives a feeling of time being passed in a somewhat wasteful but also exciting way as they experience different things along the journey. However, this is a very loose interpretation of a 'wasted time novel'.
