Does GMG.com Affect your Work Productivity?

[Mean Green 93-98]

I won't say why this topic crossed my mind. Let's just say that it sounds fair for another bye week topic.

[Mean_Green09]

Ya it does. That and compling stats and what not in the past for the breakdown which basically leads back to this site

[oldguystudent]

Nah, my work is pretty much feast or famine. When it's feast, there's so much of it, that I don't bother myself with frivolities like gmg.com. In the offseason, however, like now, gmg.com all day every day.

or... Does Work Affect your GMG.com Productivity?

I put "Somewhat, but I mostly keep it in moderation", since if it really gets busy, I won't have time to look at gmg at all, and it doesn't affect me at all. But... then there are the slow days, and it might as well be "My employer should either block me from gmg.com or fire me now".

Today is pretty slow...

[Green P1]

Not as long as I confine it to port-a-potty breaks and seat time.

i can multitask...work and gmg...easy does it...not a problem...

I am retired and much like every multiple-choice event in my life, I couldn't find the right answer. I check GMG many times per day so I punched "block me/fire me." I even check GMG

sometimes when I get up for the 3:30 am stumble to the bathroom.

I decline to answer.

Not in the least.

I need the distraction for the kind of work I do, otherwise my brain gets all foggy.

Uh. No comment. ^{except for exactly what you said.}

I think a good follow up to this very interesting poll would be "Have you ever read or posted on GMG while on the John?"

I am an old retired coot so the word "production" is way back in my past. I get to check this web site any time I can convince my lovely wife to get off of our computer.

Duh!

I think I'll echo meangreentexan's no comment, in the very off chance anyone at work could figure out my screen name.

I just hope they think I'm checking my work email on my phone from my desk...

I'm on it so much I use it as a night light.

[KRAM1]

Nope-retired. But, it does interfere with my volunteer service sometimes and my bride mentions it from time to time! :-)

[MEANGREENCOACH2]

I check constantly

Here is another follow up thread? Has your time on GMG ever put you in the doghouse with the SO?

[RushnStudies]

I'm the "not at all" vote, because while it's true that I am not on GMG.com often at all, if I allowed myself to be, I would easily distract myself from being productive and getting work done on my thesis or other things. I don't allow myself to get too involved in any of the dozen or so forum sites that I enjoy when I'm really busy, but I do show up every so often to post and read for a few days. Then I remember that I'm supposed to be doing something else and retreat back into the library to read more microfilm. (See what I did there?)
