I found this very interesting and I think most Americans understand this concept in theory, but just don’t do it in practice. Also, and not necessarily related to the above, it’s not always cultural. Many people are night-owls and simply cannot sit down and be productive in cognitive tasks in the morning. However, as the working world assumes that only early-birds are worth anything, everyone has to work a morning schedule. This can lead to some of what you describe, where people are in their seats and not doing much, simply because they have to be there, and don’t really get rolling until later in the day. Of course Facebook is just a huge time suck and can be addictive, so there’s that too.
