? Dylan Thomas
I, in my intricate image
This bread I break
Incarnate devil
Today, this insect
The seed-at-zero
Shall gods be said
Here in this spring
Do you not father me
Out of the sighs
Hold hard, these ancient minutes
Was there a time
Now
Why east wind chills
A grief ago
How soon the servant sun
Ears in the turrets hear
Foster the light
The hand that signed the paper
Should lanterns shine
I have longed to move away
Find meat on bones
Grief thief of time
And death shall have no dominion
Then was my neophyte
Altarwise by owl-light

Yahoo answers is the thief of time.....on a more serious note though: the thief of time is procrastination.

It could be said Yahoo Answers is the thief of time.
But seriously, I'm sure the word you want is "procrastination".

There are many, many things in our daily lives that can steel our time from us. Basically ANYTHING that take focus off of our goals is robbing us of precious time..It is not helping us achieve what we are wanting to achieve in this lifetime..
Television is a BIG thief of time..
Procrastination is a BIG thief of time..
This Computer is (usually ) a BIG thief of time..
Some times it can be your kids, husband, parents, friends, job...Or basically just ANYTHING that keeps you from obtaining what you want!!..

Yes, famously it's procrastination but it's also the title of a brilliant book by Terry Pratchett.
