During an 8-hour workday, the average worker only spends 4 hours and 12 minutes actively working. Keep reading to see what employees are doing instead of working. Here are other top findings:
47% of workers admit to surfing the internet at work, making it the most common off-task behavior.
78% of respondents reported not needing 8 hours to complete their daily work.
Employees spend an average of 1 hour and 5 minutes reading news websites during the work day.
Employees consider 71% of time spent in meetings as unproductive.
Between 25 to 90 minutes is the optimal amount of time to focus on intellectual, attention-heavy work.
What do you often do in your work?
Of course. How many people here work night shift? Half the time l spend at my plant, l am just correcting the mistakes my coworkers make during the day, or work on things that need to be fixed that they were afraid or too lazy to do. The other half l spend doing my work. What little time l have left l try to relax. Who else does the same?

In my case it’s mostly coffee and bathroom breaks. Since I do like what I do, the time flows a bit faster.

There are days where I’m working most of those 8 hours.
There are other days where I don’t even get to 4 productive hours.
Some days you just don’t feel like working and other days you do.

Interesting, I'm on breaks for bathroom and snacks. I think everyone is on this, right?

Being on mobile phone takes up almost all the free time, texting+social media+surfing the internet, mother of god.

Bathroom breaks counts as an off-task behavior? Isn't that like baked in the fact that you're a human and not a robot?
reply
Like you don’t take your phone with you to bathrooms, or what? Lol

Looks like it describes office workers. I'm on my former work sometimes didn't have time to get lunch, my phone I didn't touch at all

There are certainly jobs that require full time engagement, that’s for sure.

Oh yeah. On the other hand I had a job when I could all the day surf internet
