I did PR work, but I had to stop when my free time ran too low.

Definitely not! :)
Wasting time is when I think afterwards "I should have done something else
during the last few hours" :)
One example is getting caught by some news and reading up on it until I'm
reading stuff which is only barely related but still interesting - but which
just isn't important for other stuff I do. Somehow it's hard to describe how
"useful reading" and "mostly useless reading" differ from each other.
Reading fantasy and science fiction is useful for example, because I feel more
alive after I read them.

I think that counts as "almost all his life" :)

Then let's just see where it goes - I'll try to avoid possibly wrong
expectations :)
Best wishes,
