I spend most of my day in meetings and on the phone talking to customers, vendors and employees. By 1:00 pm I am procrastinating like a maniac to try and avoid the overwhelming # of projects I have to complete. So how much procrastination during a given day is normal for employees?

Procastination is a matter of habit and has nothing to do whether the individual is an employee or the employer. So long as u complete the day's work before the end of the day, procastination in between is ok but not beyond when it results in work being carried over to the following day.

Guess it depends on your job. If you were a doctor I'd say that procrastion would be very bad for both your professional image and your patients. But being an office worker is a bit different. Regardless, putting things off is just making your to do list bigger by the day. This much I have learned from my employment of past 17 years.

Actually, there is a formula that addresses this very issue, among others, based on polls and interviews with execs from over 1200 participating companies across the United States. I don't have time to gather that information for you at this time...but I will get back to you. Soon. Monday maybe.

If you procrastinate so much that you come in the next day to the previous day's work? Too much. Try to organize things. Utilize task lists and effective tools like that. Good luck.

It really depends on your job, but it sounds like you're really busy. I see no harm in procrastinating as long as you get the job done on time. I say take it easy and don't be so hard on yourself. Americans work too hard and too much. IMO.

I'm going to have to go with none. I'm pretty sure the employer didn't hire you to twiddle your thumbs the day away. If I were you, I'd be sure not to waste time, go on, don't procrastinate, go ask your employer how much time you can procrastinate, I'm positive the employer won't procrastinate showing you the door.

Depends on if you are the BOSS or an employee
