Only about 40% of the typical workday is actually work. The other 60% (at least!) is wasted time. Some of this wasted time is your fault, some is your work environment's fault, and some is your bosses' or management's fault.
Examples of wasted time at work that is your fault:
- Non-work related web sites. Facebook, online shopping, sports, blogs, whatever. 64 percent of employees visit non-work related websites every day at work. That's every day!
- Porn. 25 of employees admit to viewing porn at work.
- Looking for another job.
- Watching TV or other video (YouTube, Hulu, Netflix, etc).
- Personal phone calls and texting.
- Personal email.
- Chit-chatting with co-workers about gossip, sports, or other non-work related stuff.
- Spam and other useless email.
- Being interrupted by co-workers, employees, and bosses.
- Poorly written or spoken communication from co-workers.
- Fixing co-workers' screw-ups.
- Useless or irrelevant paperwork.
- Office politics.
- Useless meetings.
- Useless conference calls.
- Useless training on topics you'll never use in your job.
- Inefficient workflow systems.
- Slow or problematic computers that are not upgraded or fixed.
