According to a new survey, the average person spends 50 minutes a day slacking off at work.  Here’s the breakdown, 42% of people said they do it because their job is too easy, and 34% said they just get bored.

The Holidays are one of the biggest slack-off times of the year, because everyone’s still in holiday mode, vacation mode or just easing back into work.  According to the survey from Digital Hub, here are the ten most common ways we slack off . . .

1.  Browsing the Internet.

2.  Checking personal emails.

3.  Texting.

4.  Browsing social media.

5.  Leaving your desk to just walk around for a while.

6.  Online shopping.

7.  Dealing with errands, like paying bills online.

8.  Eating lunch at your desk.

9.  Daydreaming while you just stare blankly at your computer screen.

10.  Planned toilet breaks.

Other ways we slack off include doodling in meetings, hanging out in the office kitchen, or at the water cooler . . . and pretending to work when you’re playing an online game.
