So, another Friday thread from me. What strategies to people adopt to avoid doing any work on a Friday when they're in the office? Theres no point actually trying to do nothing at all - its obvious and if you're hungover you're often a bit restless but I find that even if I try to be productive I often end up doing the following:
- Spending the whole day doing one task that should take about an hour. I do a bit, get up and walk around a bit, do a bit, go back online and repeat throughout the day.
- Posting on internet forums. People see you typing - you look busy, sometimes you actually feel like you're achieving something too. (I don't know what but hey...)
- Getting people to go out for lunch. Ring restaurants, downloading menus, walking around the office seeing what people are doing. Its all good.
- Flicking through magazines, I can get away with this a good bit cos of the nature of my job...
- Leaving something extra handy untill the end of the day. By Friday evening my brain is usually in meltdown - its a good time to clean my desk or do some filing.
So, what does everyone else do?
