Top 5 Ways to not get work done
I've found myself quite unmotivated at work. It's something I'm forcing myself out of and my work rate is steadily increasing, but I should be doing more. I used to have the same problem at uni and I narrowed the cause down mainly to being lazy... I mean lazy and connected to the internet.
The internet is a giant distraction. It's filled with people just trying to waste time, be it yours or theirs. I quickly discovered the main ways to avoid doing any work:
1. Check your emails
2. Frequent Forums
3. Read Blogs
4. Own a blog
5. Be unemployed
All of these are enough to fill your day with nothing. Just develop a routine, and you can be stuck in a loop, check emails, check forums, check blogs, post to blog, rinse, repeat. That alone is enough to fill your day if you have enough forums or blogs. Like I said I've been trying to cut down, especially as my work is suffering. But the final reason, being unemployed, means you have no work to do! It's amazing! I was unemployed for a while, it meant I got to play games all day and sit around at home, getting lots of rest and entertainment. If I'm not careful I may end up back there!

Start searching for podcasts too. That can fill several hours.
