Is the Internet killing your productivity? On this week's episode of Men's Health Live, online editor Andrew Daniels reveals how much time you waste at work surfing the web. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, every day the average web user forgoes 27 minutes of work, 12 minutes of sleep, and 4 minutes of exercise in favor of spending time on Facebook.
MHL host Peter Moore wonders if some of this time spent surfing can actually be useful for certain jobs:
"I've researched any number of story ideas online when we're in the initial phases of these things. I find the web provocative. So I don't know how you can make the distinction that these 100 minutes have been displaced, or if you're just redirecting your efforts somewhere else."
To which Daniels responds:
"If you're going to spend your 100 minutes of free time online, spend them on MensHealth.com."
