But what about the positive side. An hour 'wasted' a day might be used more to recharge your batteries, to give you a change to deplug your brain for a bit and come back refreshed. Currently I am starting a company and have found myself working huge amounts of hours. recently though my productivity has been upped by allowing myself time away from working every now and again. It is the same with my 9-5. I used to be quite religious about eating my lunch at my desk and working through. Now I make sure that I get away from the office during that lunch break... go to the park, to a cafe, the library, whatever. because of that I am again finding I am far more productive, and far less distracted, throughout the day.
