The Benefit of Wasting Time
You had a great morning of activities:
- Made a call.
- Production meeting.
- Quick chat with your boss.
- Check emails … reply.
- Quote a job.
- Wordle.
- Made a call…
Wait. What? Wordle? How is that part of a successful morning?
While good time management begets sales productivity, not only is there nothing wrong with a non-selling action like a quick easy game, but there is a benefit. According to a study I just made up for the purpose of supporting this blog (but makes sense to me), four out of five dentists say taking a break every now and then:
- Renews.
- Refreshes.
- Hits the reset button.
Don’t worry about a little time-waster on occasion. We need that mini-breather in order to better accomplish the work-related activities. Puzzles? Sure. Solitaire? Yup.
Wordle? Duh!
