Something for Your Boss

Everyone has had that moment when their coworker catches them by surprise while they are stalking someone on facebook, shopping online, reading their fav blog or checking their horoscope.

 Check out what the WSJ has to say about browsing the web while at work:

According to a new study, Web browsing can actually refresh tired workers and enhance their productivity, compared to other activities such as making personal calls, texts or emails, let alone working straight through with no rest at all.

Apparently, web breaks are more "restorative" than other breaks or working straight through because the individual has control over what they are looking at and experiencing and therefore enjoy it more. For some reason, I'm pretty sure this won't fly when your boss is the one standing over your shoulder.
