Eight hour days??? Or three...

According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average American works 8.8 hours every day. Yet a study of nearly 2,000 full-time office workers revealed that most people aren't working for most of the time they're at work.

The most popular unproductive activities listed were:

Reading news websites - 1 hour 5 min

Checking social media - 44 min

Discussing non-work-related things with coworkers - 40 min

Searching for new jobs - 26 min

Taking smoke breaks - 23 min

Making calls to partners/ friends - 18 min

Making hot drinks - 17 min

Texting or instant messaging - 14 min

Eating snacks - 8 min

Making food in office - 7 min

This is particularly good news for freelancers and others who work from home. It's easy to feel like you're not "doing" enough when you don't have to go into an office. Yet this research suggests that if you're productive for just 3 hours a day, you're outputting the same amount as someone in the office for 8 hours.
