Avoid Five Common Work-Related Pitfalls

Productivity pitfall: Boredom

Scenario:

You have been steadily working on the same task for hours. You are bored, so you decide to call a friend on the company phone to chat.

Most people like to feel that they are contributing something to their work environment. Feeling bored and unproductive at work can lead to job dissatisfaction. Worse, if boredom leads you to act unprofessionally or avoid your assigned tasks, you could be fired.

Solutions:

  • If you truly have a lack of things to do, ask your supervisor to give you some projects.
  • Be proactive. Seek out projects. Your manager or supervisor will appreciate it.
  • Create a to-do list and stick to it.
