3.5 Primary Time Wasters

Course Overview

“I’m sure you have noticed that, as a general rule,
people with nothing to do want to do it with you.”

–Zig Ziglar

Time wasters are people or activities that consume minutes or hours without returning results. We may waste our own time with office chitchat or web surfing, or we may have our time wasted by others who distract us from our work. Business owners and managers often find their employees wasting time on non-work activities, like Facebook, YouTube, or conducting personal business. All of these add up to many hours spent on not doing what we ultimately get paid for.
