More precisely, two hours 53 minutes, reports Rus.Media. This is evidenced by the results of a survey conducted among nearly 2 million British workers. It turned out that the rest of the time people spend reading news, browsing, social networking, food, chat on topics not related to work, breaks for Smoking and search for new jobs.

Many studies have previously confirmed that long days of work is unlikely to give you the opportunity to get the best results from people. Some of them showed that the workers can only stay focused for about 20 minutes, and a pause during the working day to help increase productivity.

The rest of the day working abilities begin to deteriorate, said an expert on the psychology work of K. Anders Ericsson. “If you encourage people far beyond the time during which they can really concentrate as much as possible, you are likely to get them to buy some bad habits,” says Erickson.
