ADVICE

Log Your Pauses

  • Log your pauses to see what you do and how you feel during work breaks.
  • Tracking pauses helps identify productive rest and wasted time to improve your workday.
INSIGHT

Work Hours Aren't Fully Worked

  • People billing by the hour know exactly when they start and stop work including breaks.
  • Most of a 'nine to six' workday is not actually spent working due to transitions and pauses.
ADVICE

Track Break Lengths and Uses

  • For a few days, jot down start and end times of all work pauses to track their length and purpose.
  • Use this to see if breaks like personal emails or calls balloon beyond their intended time.
