Learn how to stop procrastinating once and for all
Procrastination affects us all. According to a recent study by Voucher Cloud, an average employee only works about three hours out of the required eight — two hours and 53 minutes to be exact. The other five hours and seven minutes are wasted doing something else, like checking social media, ogling at non-work related websites, gossiping with colleagues, taking smoking breaks, and so on.
In other words, most people mess around instead of doing what they're getting paid to do.
Taking breaks in between tasks is necessary to keep your sanity intact — in fact, it's even highly recommended. But to procrastinate more than you do work will get you nowhere. You might as well kiss goodbye your chances of clinching that promotion and climbing further up the career ladder. But this isn't to say you're entirely hopeless; productivity can still be taught.
One great way to retrain your brain is by taking an online course dedicated to the secrets of staying productive. The eduCBA Office Productivity Bundle is an e-learning bundle comprised of more than 200 courses and 700 hours of content, all with the promise of helping you tap into a new level of productivity.
This $29 bundle grants you lifetime access to a host of valuable lessons. So even if you procrastinate on starting this course on how NOT to procrastinate, you have the rest of your life to convince yourself to take it.
