The Art of Wasting Time

Do you remember those days when you wished you do nothing all day and just stay on Facebook and Twitter instead of doing actual work?

Well, be careful what you wish for! In the past month I haven't had that much work pressure and I found myself of having extra time on my hands that I would ever want to think about.

I'm usually a master in wasting time at home. I can watch movies and tv shows non-stop all day and I wouldn't even feel the need to move, except for getting food and snacks, of course.

But things are different when you are at work and you don't have much to do, but you would still want to look like you're busy and actually doing something useful.

So, I came up with a some easy, innocent ways to look like i'm working, but at the same time, i'm actually wasting time:

1.  Take your time in doing your daily tasks. If something usually takes you 30 minutes to finish, try to take it slow and finish it in 1 hour. Repeat as needed.
2.  Read stuff online related to your industry. No one can blame you for wanting to be up-to-date with new trends and technologies to enhance your knowledge and skills.
3.  Dig in some case studies and best practices in your industry. Again, no one can blame you for wanting to be up-to-date with the market and be inspired by other companies' work.
4.  4.You really like coffee, right? How about 3 or 4 cups a day. You don't really have to drink them all, but you can waste like 15 minutes making one. Want to waste more time, be nice and wash the dishes. This will show you care about the company and you are a good team player.
5.  There is a healthy benefit out of this tip. Get yourself a big bottle of water and keep it next to you. The more you drink, the more you feel the need to use the washroom.
6.  If you have a supermarket or a grocery store close to you, and your company is okay with you leaving the office for a little while, go at least twice a day to buy random stuff... even if it's a pack of gum or whatever. 
7.  If you smoke, that's probably the best excuse ever. Go for a cigarette break every 2 or 3 hours, here is another 30 minutes killed.

If you follow the above steps, you will end up working for 2 or 3 hours max a day. That's the dream, right?

In case you're a manager and you see these actions from your employees, now you know why they do these things!
