Water
Water is completely trivial stuff that wastes your time. I don’t know if it can be completely eliminated, and I can personally vouch for the momentary salutary effect of a few hands of solitaire; you just need to make sure you’re putting it in the jar last.

Examples of water are straightening up the piles on your desk, downloading the latest version of something you don’t even use, letting discussions (virtual or live) drag on past their point of usefulness (since this involves others, you could call it “splashing”) and gossiping. Some are fun and some aren’t. Water is probably inevitable, but use it sparingly.
