What used to be an hour is now more like 15 min. But I take lots of breaks throughout the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-sit-at-your-desk-before-you-actually-begin-working#post-822267 Fri, 31 May 2013 14:00:05 +0000 mrskc 822267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably about an hour. I check HB, my personal emails, IG, FB. Such a bad habit. I find if the first thing I do when I get to work is actual work, I have a more productive day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-sit-at-your-desk-before-you-actually-begin-working#post-822245 Fri, 31 May 2013 13:51:07 +0000 autumnlove 822245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 minutes...that is why I get to work early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-sit-at-your-desk-before-you-actually-begin-working#post-822232 Fri, 31 May 2013 13:46:07 +0000 lomom 822232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work in a billable hours environment so I don't do much personal email/Facebook/hellobee stuff at work. I have to account for my time to every 0.1 of an hour... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-sit-at-your-desk-before-you-actually-begin-working#post-821976 Fri, 31 May 2013 12:04:28 +0000 mediagirl 821976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first thing I do is work email. Then I will get online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-sit-at-your-desk-before-you-actually-begin-working#post-821974 Fri, 31 May 2013 12:03:58 +0000 Mrs. Chalk 821974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is now 1:00pm and I feel like I'm just starting to settle in. It's usually not quite this bad... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-sit-at-your-desk-before-you-actually-begin-working#post-821849 Fri, 31 May 2013 11:23:59 +0000 keiki_mama 821849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few processes and reports that need to get out the door ASAP so I check my stuff after that. Get in at 6:45 AM, check fun stuff around 8:15 =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-sit-at-your-desk-before-you-actually-begin-working#post-821811 Fri, 31 May 2013 11:14:07 +0000 dolphin 821811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the office at 9. Coffee, chatty chat, emails, HB, FB...one hour! Oh but then I pump at 10...Hehe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-sit-at-your-desk-before-you-actually-begin-working#post-821672 Fri, 31 May 2013 10:40:41 +0000 PurplePumps 821672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately... I'm lucky if I have 5 minutes to down my breakfast before starting work. I inhale breakfast and coffee as I check email, then get right in to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-sit-at-your-desk-before-you-actually-begin-working#post-821647 Fri, 31 May 2013 10:33:55 +0000 birdofafeather 821647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the day, sometimes I'm just ready to get going, so I make some coffee and jump into emails. I can crank out a lot then I hit a lull mid day where I need some time to myself for HB, personal emails or another distraction. Other mornings, I need to linger over my coffee first thing. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-sit-at-your-desk-before-you-actually-begin-working#post-821589 Fri, 31 May 2013 10:19:34 +0000 BlueWolverine 821589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably about 30 minutes, but I think responding to work email is work. I do that first thing. So much is done via email, it takes up a big chunk of my day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-sit-at-your-desk-before-you-actually-begin-working#post-821583 Fri, 31 May 2013 10:18:52 +0000 Rubies 821583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 30 minutes...I think that's reasonable! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-sit-at-your-desk-before-you-actually-begin-working#post-821580 Fri, 31 May 2013 10:17:59 +0000 Smurfette 821580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>30-60 mins depending on my emails and what I have to do that day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-sit-at-your-desk-before-you-actually-begin-working#post-821522 Fri, 31 May 2013 10:01:10 +0000 Alivoo01 821522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About an hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-sit-at-your-desk-before-you-actually-begin-working#post-821473 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:46:39 +0000 .twist. 821473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>uhm... I get to work at 8 and right now it's 8:46 and I'm still not ready to start any sort of real work.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-sit-at-your-desk-before-you-actually-begin-working#post-821468 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:44:59 +0000 TheReelDeal 821468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An hour and a half?? That seems bad. I'll look at my work email but won't bother with responses and then I will check personal email, HB and 4 different fashion blog sites. After that I feel ready to face the day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-sit-at-your-desk-before-you-actually-begin-working#post-821438 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:38:43 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 821438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It can be up to 2 hours some days. I'm trying to get better about coming in and working first thing, but it's so hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-sit-at-your-desk-before-you-actually-begin-working#post-821419 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:33:59 +0000 IRunForFun 821419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too long. I check my e-mail, FB, Hellobee, some news sites, deal sites...probably 30 mins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-sit-at-your-desk-before-you-actually-begin-working#post-821370 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:13:05 +0000 MrsTiz 821370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get here at 7:30, I usually open up all 5 tabs that I have open all day (Grooveshark, Feedly, AOL, Reddit, Hellobee). I start my music, set my Feedly up so it's ready to scroll, check my e-mail then I flip through Reddit &amp; HB for a bit.</p> <p>I usually open my work e-mail and program after 8. So 30 min to an hour lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-sit-at-your-desk-before-you-actually-begin-working#post-821345 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:05:48 +0000 Mrs. Bee 821345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First I check Hellobee. Then I check my personal and work emails and respond to the ones that are urgent. Then I read my blogs and Pinterest. Finally I get started on work. That takes up about an hour every morning! I guess I am working, but I don't feel like I'm getting much done in that hour.</p> <p>I actually cut out Pinterest in the past month because it was taking up so much time, but it drives a ton of traffic for us, so I need to get back to it. </p> <p>How long does it take you to really start working? </p>
