At the workplace, we're expected to give 100 per cent from the time we clock in to the time we punch out. That, however, is easier applied on paper than it is in practice. Research shows that the average worker is only productive for three to four hours, yet they are expected to be productive for eight hours or more. And if we can be honest for a minute, very few of us enjoy our jobs and occasionally we will give in to distractions amidst fighting sleep.
