I found another article that states workers admit to 47% of the time spent on-line at work has nothing at all to do with their work tasks. 47%!! That’s amazing!
The article goes on to state that 60% of people surveyed “they experience mild to moderate procrastination in their lives while 6% are chronic procrastinators”.
What exactly is ‘mild to moderate procrastination’? Is that being online for 30-45 minutes at a time, vs. 60 minutes, which would be considered chronic? Or is 15-30 minutes mild to moderate, and anything over 30 minutes chronic?
Or, perhaps they measured procrastination in hours? 2-3 hours is mild to moderate, and over 3 hours is chronic?
Be careful when you use ambiguous words such as ‘mild’, ‘moderate’ and ‘chronic’. They have different meanings for different people. You could get frustrated waiting for their mild procrastination to end, or be surprised when their moderate procrastination equals your mild procrastination.
It’s not what you said, it’s what they think they heard.
