But you listed "puzzles' in your work, and you included your lunch and co-worker conversation time, unless you're always in front of your screen, zero distractions. If we're all counting all that time, then that changes these numbers a lot. We really need to clarify what 'work' is for these numbers to be useful, at all.
- geraldalewis 15y agoThere was an episode of 'The Office' where Jim took note of any time Dwight wasn't working. Dwight stops using the restroom in favor of a bottle beneath his desk. He keeps his eyes open while sneezing to keep them focused on his computer screen. How granular do we get in defining what qualifies as a "work hour"? Do we not count bathroom breaks? The time it takes the computer to warm up? The milliseconds between keystrokes? "Work hours" will always be an issue of semantics. Here's my definition: any time I'm not dragging my feet about accomplishing a work task. Here's my tautological definition of a "work task": a task I perform for work.
