The Top10 productivity killers

study results from CareerBuilder


A study from CareerBuilder shows the Top10 productivity killers at work. It’s funny to see that co-workers appear three times.

  1. Cell phone/texting — 50 percent
  2. Gossip — 42 percent
  3. The Internet — 39 percent
  4. Social media — 38 percent
  5. Snack breaks or smoke breaks — 27 percent
  6. Noisy co-workers — 24 percent
  7. Meetings — 23 percent
  8. Email — 23 percent
  9. Co-workers dropping by — 23 percent
  10. Co-workers putting calls on speaker phone — 10 percent

Internet, Social Media, Cell Phone, Email ist all the technique stuff. So maybe it’s good to take offline phases. I am just thinking of grading me down to a normal old phone, to avoid all the fancy apps.
