On a regular day, you would never dream of spending 6 hours turning an avocado into a piece of art, or covering an entire page of your notebook with mind-blowingly intricate doodles, but it's amazing how creativity is sometimes spurred by a lack of focus. According to Wharton University professor Adam Grant, procrastination actually makes your brain more inventive, and some of the most famous thinkers (Martin Luther King Jr., Leonardo Da Vinci) were known to produce their best work at the last minute - I Have a Dream, anyone?
If you're sitting at your desk right now and feeling guilty for constantly drifting away from that project you were meant to finish 2 hours ago, cut yourself a break and embrace all that 'free time' you're giving yourself. If you've made your own masterpiece in a moment of extreme distraction, add it to our list at the end!

I have never worked somewhere where you would be able to get away with any of this..........What do yáll do????

Some office jobs that are project based are feast or famine in terms of work load. They are salary employees who are expected to get the work done regardless of hours. Plus 'free hours' are somewhat relative because all the goofing off at any hour will readily catch up to them to meet deadlines.

If you are bored at work, at least respect the environment (post-its wasted, bent useless staples and tape) Bored? Pay for your own entertainment
TC 7 years ago
I hope this gets a bunch of criticisms. It got me disappointed. I understand if your job is somehow mechanical and you depend on who comes through the door you could get bored. That's happened to me when I was young but some people took more than a morning to do what they did. And what about sweeping the office ? Cleaning the fridge ? Planning next week's tasks ? Studying to improve in what you do ? I just think many of these talented people are in a pre-depression stage. I feel ashamed. Sorry. You don't deserve to get paid.
Zori the degu 7 years ago
Shut up, TC, if people are not creative from time to time, they're gonna become super dump at some point. They obviously didn't have anything to do at the time and if they did have, they can always plan their day in such way that they finish what they are required to do on time. Sometimes you simply don't have the required work inspiration. At this point you can sit, take a creativity break and then continue working with higher spirits and desire.
