As if most people would really spend 8-9 hours a day working. Most people get payed for 8 hours, but actually work 3-4 hours per day, at most. The rest of the day is spent idling, procrastinating, or socialising - and all of that is important to stay healthy.
Bottom line, humans are no equations and there is more to it than "nice" numbers.
- thenerdhead 5y agoYeah. 8 hours allocated for work. Stopping after ~3 hours or 37%. Totally agreed that what is allocated doesn't get used and there's no nice numbers since law of averages.
- PragmaticPulp 5y ago> The rest of the day is spent idling, procrastinating, or socialising I agree that most people don’t actually work with 100% efficiency, but I disagree that everyone is procrastinating for 4-5 hours every day. That much procrastination is the norm at certain companies, but try it at a tightly-run company and you’ll quickly fall behind your peers. Note that communications, e-mail, and meetings really are “work” even if programmers often don’t count them. However, straight up procrastination is definitely not work.
