Especially on days when I'm sick. Then I can't focus on anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-686256 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 09:24:25 +0000 jetsa 686256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: @MsLipGloss: Oh yes on this! It's horrible to go back and bill for those days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-686152 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:51:39 +0000 wheres_c 686152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to get 5 days of work done in 3. Now I work from home, so every hour that I'm clocked in I am working my butt off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-686135 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:47:28 +0000 Turd Ferguson 686135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: Amen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-686126 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:46:01 +0000 MrsTiz 686126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Average day I probably do ~2 hours of work, tops. So I waste 6 hours a day.</p> <p>Busy day, I work ~4 hours nonstop, then waste 4. </p> <p>I can make my 2 hours of work take 8 hours haha. It sounds relaxing, but it's really miserable. There isn't 6 hours worth of stuff to do on the internet everyday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-686064 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:28:11 +0000 illumina 686064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: at my last job I would often feel like I could get 5 days of work done in 2 or 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-686063 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:28:01 +0000 JoJoGirl 686063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see clients so it depends on my schedule for the day. If i have 8 people scheduled i am busting my butt all day. I have 2 people today and a meeting so..... lots of wasted time once I get my other work done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-686055 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:24:48 +0000 Ash 686055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most days, I don't waste any (my patients keep me pretty busy). But some days can be slower and I'll hop on the internet and shop. =O </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-686050 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 08:21:35 +0000 mlm2934 686050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: lol!</p> <p>yea I used to work in a bill by hour environment, so I wasted little time - the pace is so different at my new job and it so hard to stay motivated bc most of my work doesn't have hard fast deadlines! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-685707 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 22:07:24 +0000 lemondrop 685707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None, I'm on the run from when I arrive at 7:30 until I leave by 6, if I'm lucky. I have 10 students always needing something (and mine are adults, I don't envy those of you teaching kiddos!)- even during my breaks and lunch. Speaking of lunch, usually I have meetings during lunch since it its my only full day on campus. I do feel much more productive at home than at work, where I'm always getting interrupted. On my work from home nights, I have too much to do and very few quiet hours to myself that I have to make the most of it. I'm a little jealous of those having extra time in their day!</p> <p>I need this sign for my onsite days: </p> [attach=1790/13/mknt2f.447x600..facebook_1722186998.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-685673 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 21:42:47 +0000 LindsayInNY 685673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: What exactly do you schedule in outlook? I know it'll vary by job. I really need to block Internet. I did it myself for Facebook, Twitter, etc. which helps a bit too. I think once we have a LO it'll become easier to focus on work at work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-685665 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 21:35:03 +0000 mrsdoily 685665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work in an Autism classroom, so I wish I had some downtime during the day! I'm lucky if I have enough time to stop and do some paperwork. Don't get me wrong, I love my kiddos, it's just a very hectic classroom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-685649 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 21:19:12 +0000 Mrs. Pen 685649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None! My job just keeps going. I work in a scheduling hub (call center) for a major clinic and there is always something to do.. Actually I'm not actually doing that part yet, I'm still on training meaning I spend most of the week in a classroom being taught the computer systems and policies, and the rest of the time shadowing others and watching them... But in about a month that's what I'll be doing ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-685647 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 21:17:22 +0000 matador84 685647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNYC: ds is a huge motivator! I use outlook and calendar EVERYTHING! And I mean everything. It helps keep my day focused and on track. </p> <p>I know a lot of people HB at work, but if I did I would just be squandering time when I need to be doing work stuff. I wish I could though...I feel HB lost some days! I do a lot of things some people might consider weird to help me focus and not get side tracked. No pics of family/friends up...it leads to a ton of side conversations. I am known at work for my worker bee ethic and getting insane amounts of productivity done in short amounts of time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-685551 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 20:22:51 +0000 lilteacherbee 685551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@char54: ditto, exactly!

I have trouble focusing sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-685481 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 19:47:13 +0000 Silva 685481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately I waste all most all of it! Seriously, I'm a therapist in a residential setting, and have transferred all my clients b/c I'm due in a couple weeks. So...I just sort of do some paperwork, hang out with co workers, and mess around online. Nobody Expects much of me at this point.</p> <p>Usually it's pretty much crazy all day, I work with a high needs population and there is always a crisis to deal with (followed by a mountain of paperwork) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-685473 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 19:43:39 +0000 MrsH 685473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some days I buckle down and waste none. Other times I'm like @LindsayInNYC and have trouble focusing, those days suck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-685212 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 16:58:24 +0000 Grace 685212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm probably similar to you. I get all my work done - makes me think of how great it would be to work part days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-685077 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:57:26 +0000 LindsayInNY 685077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I struggle with focusing at work. I hate to think about how much time I waste not being able to focus or concentrate =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-684867 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:57:31 +0000 mlm2934 684867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@char54: I couldn't imagine how tired I'd be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-684840 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:52:52 +0000 Charm54 684840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 19 seven year olds clamoring for my attention 6 hours a day and then I spend the other 2 frantically trying to catch up on paperwork/meetings/parent phone calls..... so none! Though I do shut my door, turn off my lights and have some "peace and quiet time" during my lunch hour every day, haha. I need it for my sanity!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-time-do-you-waste-at-work#post-684832 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:51:00 +0000 mlm2934 684832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could easily get my work done with 5 hour days. So lots of wasted time! (Not true at my old job, was much busier!) </p>
