I frequently have all of my work completed, and I am unfortunately not allowed to work from home. This means I spend a lot of time sitting at my desk scrolling social media, because there’s nothing that needs done. I feel like I’m wasting my time, even more than work already wasted the best hours of the day. How do you fill that downtime with something that is personally valuable, but not disruptive or noticeable enough that you’d get in trouble?
When I’m done I go home. Benefits of being self-employed.
This wasn’t ever much of an issue in my previous job either. Work fills the time given for it. If there’s literally nothing to do then I’d browse reddit/Lemmy or watch YouTube videos.
