Daily Life Time Wasters
Time wastage is a problem that can hinder the achievement of goals of an organization. There are various daily time wasters that need to be avoided to ensure that the time available is properly utilized to increase productivity. One, distractions is a major time waster at the workplace (“The Biggest Workplace Time Wasters” n.pag). An employee may have the plan to work to perform a particular task within a particular time, but some external factors may delay the activity (“Job Success: Avoid Five Common Work-Related Pitfalls” n.pag). For instance, he or she may receive a lot of phone calls from various people and thus delay the execution of the task. Unnecessary meeting at the workplace may also lead to time wastage (“The 6 Biggest Time Wasters in the Workplace (And How To Tackle Them n.pag). Also, a fellow employee may introduce a talk and thus waste a lot of time which was meant to achieve a particular goal (Moga n.pag).
Secondly, boredom is another daily time waster. An employee may be bored by carrying out a particular task and thus end up doing it slowly or even abandon it (“Job Success: Avoid Five Common Work-Related Pitfalls” n.pag). Doing one activity for many hours makes the mind be tired and lose concentration which makes an individual look for an alternative activity to spend some time for refreshment. Thus, boredom makes one use a lot of time to do a single activity which could have taken a short period.
Thirdly, hostility and conflicts are major time wasters.

Some employees who are angry at others after disagreements end up being hostile which makes the working environment unfavorable (“Job Success: Avoid Five Common Work-Related Pitfalls” n.pag). Most of the time is used to solve the differences and make the conflicting parties be at peace with one another. Additionally, the anger of the individual may affect his or her service delivery and productivity. Also, disagreements may affect the other employees since they may take some time to recover from the disturbances. Therefore, all the three-time wasters should be avoided to enhance productivity.
