It’s not intuitive, but spending less time in what you consider “work” mode, and more time in some kind of “rest,” actually increases the efficiency and value of your work productivity over time. We’ll explain the nerdy connection and challenge you with a new routine in a couple of minutes.
On the surface, “spending less time working” might not pass muster in the traditional office environment where you are expected to work, at minimum, 8 hours in a day. But for decades studies have estimated we don’t actually “work” anywhere near that amount of time. A recent (not entirely scientific) study showed the average Brit office worker’s actual work time is closer to 2 to 3 hours. These are Brits though, so in addition to, like us, checking social media, reading news websites and discussing non-work activities with colleagues, they spend an awful lot of time making tea! And, in any country, especially since Covid, one could easily add to the list doing things like laundry, walking the dog, or dealing with children.
Whether or not you can identify with any of these distractions, if you’re honest with yourself, you know that throughout the day, at a minimum, your mind wanders, your web searches go down black holes, or you turn away to get a snack or a drink.
