My Internet activities

During last 3 weeks I’ve been measuring my „cyber slacking” Internet activities (see a pie chart). But firstly, I would like to present some important information about my duties and working time, which in my opinion is quite important in this case.
The most important duties:
- preparing financial and technical documents,
- preparing internal and external documents,
- negotiations with providers and subcontractors,
- coordination of the various departments’ work.
Approximately 60% of my working time I spend in front of my computer screen. The remaining 40% is divided into meetings, negotiations and work coordination.
Normally I spend almost 11 hours in my office including visits in the building-site and short lunch break (usually it is 30 minutes break).
Every day after the work I try to make plans for next day. Of course, sticking to those detailed work’s schedules is quite difficult, but I do my best ; ]

During last 3 weeks I’ve tried to assiduously write all my Internet activities (not connected with my work and duties). I don’t have to much time to lose, but according to my “researches” I spend 29 minutes every day! The most time-consuming activity is news reading (41,4%), checking a privet e-mails box is on the second place (24,1%). For further information see a pie chart below.
Like in other researches, it’s necessary to ask the question about the results’ credibility. I’m aware of the low objective of it, taking into the consideration that I was the guinea-pig and I didn't use a special software to monitor the Internet traffic.

Interesting research! I am just afraid of mine results.

In my opinion it is not so much. You shouldn’t be worry about that. 29 minutes...compering to your overtime (11h instead of 8) is ok.
Moreover, 41% of it was consumed by news reading that is very important while it allows to increase your general knowledge. This increase your value as an employee.

One fact is said.... less then 5 minutes per day you spent on MBA blogs.... :)))))))

Yes 5 minutes for our blogs... I know and I promise the improvement ; ]
Unfortunately, I don't have an internet access in my flat, it's a pity... this the reason for my insufficient activity. As You know, access to internet by mobile phone is still very expensive and slow, too
