Forward it to your boss
A university in Melbourne, Australia, has published a study that says that browsing sites like Facebook during work hours improves your production. Yet many companies censor or restrict sites, instant messaging, etc.
According to the research, those who shut down a little from business tasks and get some air for ideas can later concentrate better and increase productivity by 10%. The question is how much time is ok and from what point it becomes a mess, right? Well, the data show that those people who worked better after a break spend around 20% in non-business activities.
Coincidence or not, if you saw the recent Google documentary, all tech and development employees have the right to use 20% of their working hours in personal projects – unsupervised.

PS: no, we ain't dead whatsoever, just had a biiig project going on, thus the absence in the past couple of weeks. Blogging should be ok from now on. =o)
