Contribute to Research!

Postby Vigis » Wed Mar 07, 2007 9:43 pm

Hey All,

I am trying to generate a list of non-work-related things people do on their computer when they are supposed to be working. I've got a list of all the things I do. . .checking the BBS :)

So, what do you do? What do your employees do? etc.

Thanks!

Edited to add some examples that I have seen other people do:
Play solitaire
Do Homework
Journaling
Photoshopping
etc.

Check email... check news sites CNN for example)... check the weather forecast... go to other BBS's. Check technology sites (the register etc), although that is kind of work related since I keep up on all of that stuff for work.

Research any projects I might have been working on at the time, such as medieval clothing, blueprints for bbq pits, recipes.

And I used to read at work a lot... ebooks.

That was at my previous job, where I spent 7/8's of my day bored out of my mind.
