Q: A new survey says 58% of people use their phones at work to do this?

A: Check sites that are blocked on their work computer

We waste 56 minutes a day on our phones, and another 42 minutes on personal tasks.  That adds up to 98 minutes a day . . . or more than one full workday a WEEK.

Here are the top six things we use our phones for when we’re at work . . .

  1. Checking personal email.

 

  1. Browsing social networks, like Facebook and Instagram.

 

  1. Reading about sports or checking fantasy teams.

 

  1. Playing video games.

 

  1. Online shopping.

 

  1. Visiting “entertainment sites.”

58% of people in the survey said they regularly use their phone to check sites that are blocked on their work computer.
