Working hours of 8 hours, not based on the time a person is suitable for concentration.Its origin is located in the industrial revolution era, there is no little matter to me who live in the modern information age.
The latter half of the 18th century, since the factory had to be running a day, 365 days a year 24 hours, working hours of 10 to 16 hours was common. Such long labor became clear that not last on cruel, of is businessman social reformers of Wales Robert Owen leaders such as is now claimed to shorten the working hours. 1817 of Owen's slogan "the labor of 8 hours, 8 hours of leisure time, 8 hours of rest" was.
However, this 8-hour movement is after about a century is no longer a standard.1914, at the same time when the Ford Motor Company is to double the wages, the daily working hours to less than 8 hours, was surprised the world. As a result, it went up productivity. Therefore, it may be the first thing that has been enacted in is, are also believed not to people as an 8-hour labor working time of humanitarian average.
Now, working time will also come in time to cause a new change. Of the eight hours a day, workers average of productive time is also research that's only 2 hours 53 minutes. That's right. Perhaps productive time of the day is a thing of about three hours.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average working hours of the Americans is 1 day 8.8 hours. However, in a study of office workers to work in full-time of about 2,000 people, is that most of the employees are not working most of the time during the work became apparent.
Unproductive activities that most of the employees are doing during the work are as follows.
- 1 Read the news site: 1 hour 5 minutes
2 Check the SNS: 44 minutes
3 To talk not related to the work with colleagues: 40 minutes
4 A career change destination search: 26 minutes
5 Cigarette break: 23 minutes
6 A lover or friends and the phone: 18 minutes
7 Put a cup of coffee or tea: 17 minutes
8 Mobile phone in the mail: 14 minutes
9 Eat a snack: 8 minutes
10 Dine in-house: 7 minutes
This may be especially good news for people who are working in freelance or home. If you do not have the attendance, it is willing to prone, such as not doing anything.However, according to this study, as long as three hours a day productive and, you will be making the results of only the same as the people who are working for 8 hours company.
In this information as really I believe, What if you shorten the working hours to 3 hours and 6 hours? At 11 to 17 What if become a common working hours? 0.00 The more rest, will be able to concentrate more, it may become more productive.
But the problem is, really whether coming out of the company to change the way work hours, I am.
