Most of us do a lot of useful things through social media, both work-related and private, and because of this we are easily trapped and justify our time there as a necessity.
It is true that social networks are organized in such a way that their purpose is to keep us on them for as long as possible. One story after another and we create the illusion that it is really necessary to read on, to respond to another message, to watch another video. As we look around us, we spend hours and hours on social media and angrily remember all the things we still have to do during the day.

4. The employee is not as productive
An increasing number of employers have begun to differentiate between the terms "productive" and "employee". By the way, you can always be an employee, but a good employee makes the difference between important and unimportant, the urgency of the optional, and this is what results in productivity.

You need to have an unpleasant phone conversation, and that's when you feel the need to urgently wipe the dust off your desktop, fix your files on your computer, or reply to a long-received email. Postpone what is important by making yourself busy, fooling yourself, first of all, yourself and then others.
Always ask yourself if what you do at one time contributes more to your work than you could do at any other time. If not, don't fool yourself. Don't let the arrangement of the table or the color folders keep you busy for all you can do at that moment.
