How much time do you actually spend working at your job? POLL
It's a simple question. I used to work in books, then magazines, now advertising. There are times when I'm really busy and I actually devote 80%+ of my time to work while I'm actually at my job. But the rest of the time - the downtime - I would calculate my average somewhere around 40%. This last week I would say I've worked roughly 8% of the time I've been at my desk. I want to know whether this is normal or not.
I guess responses will vary heavily depending on what industry you work in, but that's what replies are for. |

Re: How much time do you actually spend working at your job? POLL
I used to slack terribly, but I took a new job that is both interesting and challenging. I would say that I work about sixty hours a week and I am productively working on something about 85% of the time. As time wears on, I suspect that will decline somewhat, but for now I suspect I will be on the higher end of the industriousness scale.

even if i am doing this, i'm doing 3-4 other things in the background as well. there is basically never a time when i am either not working or not thinking about work while i am here, including during lunch. |

If I'm sitting here not actually working, but my employees are working and I'm watching them and they might not be working if I wasn't here watching them, is that work?

Of my city the worst that men will ever say is this: You took little children away from the sun and the dew, And the glimmers that played in the grass under the great sky, And the reckless rain; you put them between walls To work, broken and smothered, for bread and wages, To eat dust in their throats and die empty-hearted For a little handful of pay on a few Saturday nights.

Re: How much time do you actually spend working at your job? POLL
find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life.
The trick is to make it a high-paying job... |

Re: How much time do you actually spend working at your job? POLL
Because I've been without an assistant for about a month, I'm up to about 50-60% of the day. When I get one, I'll be able to get down to 30-40% (after whatever "teaching" period there is for my assistant).
