93% employees run errands during work

Employees are not only working from home, they are also ‘homing from work’, with 93 per cent of workers taking care of personal errands and family needs during office hours, a study found.

Nearly half of those surveyed left their office during the day to take care of personal errands, including going to the bank, picking up a gift, shipping a package, getting a manicure or pedicure and picking or dropping off dry cleaning, the study by digital media firm Captivate Network revealed.

Nearly 70 per cent employees use their work computers for personal online activities, including banking and insurance needs, scheduling vacations and even searching for a new job. The study was based on surveys of 4,000 white-collar workers across North America, BusinessNews Daily said. 

In the last two years, employees in the US running errands during the day has increased by 31 per cent, the study said. 

Think when you have your personal assistant who can run your errands - what is the need for you to run errands during work.

Work life balance is not about the amount of time you spend working vs. not working, it’s more about how you spend your time working and relaxing recognizing that what you do in once fuels your energy for others – Julie Morgenstern,Productivity Guru

Time management: Tips to reduce stress and improve productivity

Effective time management is a primary means to a less stressful life. These practices can help you reduce your stress and reclaim your personal life.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by the number and complexity of projects that need to be completed at work each day? As the day flies by, do you often feel as if you haven't paid enough attention to each task because other tasks keep landing on your desk, co-workers interrupt you with questions or you can't get it all organized?
You probably know that managing your time effectively will help you get more done each day. But it has important health benefits, too. By managing your time more wisely, you can minimize stress and improve your quality of life.
But how do you get back on track when organizational skills don't come naturally? To get started, choose one of these strategies, try it for two to four weeks and see if it helps. If it does, consider adding another one. If not, try a different one.

• Plan each day. Planning your day can help you accomplish more and feel more in control of your life. Write a to-do list, putting the most important tasks at the top. Keep a schedule of your daily activities to minimize conflicts and last-minute rushes.
• Prioritize your tasks. Time-consuming but relatively unimportant tasks can consume a lot of your day. Prioritizing tasks will ensure that you spend your time and energy on those that are truly important to you.
• Say no to nonessential tasks. Consider your goals and schedule before agreeing to take on additional work.
• Delegate. Take a look at your to-do list and consider what you can pass on to someone else.
• Take the time you need to do a quality job. Doing work right the first time may take more time upfront, but errors usually result in time spent making corrections, which takes more time overall.
• Break large, time-consuming tasks into smaller tasks. Work on them a few minutes at a time until you get them all done.
• Practice the 10-minute rule. Work on a dreaded task for 10 minutes each day. Once you get started, you may find you can finish it.
• Evaluate how you're spending your time. Keep a diary of everything you do for three days to determine how you're spending your time. Look for time that can be used more wisely. For example, could you take a bus or train to work and use the commute to catch up on reading? If so, you could free up some time to exercise or spend with family or friends.
• Limit distractions. Block out time on your calendar for big projects. During that time, close your door and turn off your phone, pager and email.
• Get plenty of sleep, eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. A healthy lifestyle can improve your focus and concentration, which will help improve your efficiency so that you can complete your work in less time.
• Take a break when needed. Too much stress can derail your attempts at getting organized. When you need a break, take one. Take a walk. Do some quick stretches at your workstation. Take a day of vacation to rest and re-energize.

How to Live the Best Life You Can

1. Start off by looking at yourself - Not in comparison to anyone else, but just look at  yourself. Ask yourself  these questions.

   -  Who am I?
   - Where do I currently stand in my life?
   - What role do I play in others lives?  (Sister, mother, friend, role model, teacher, partner, etc..)
   - Am I living to my fullest potential?
   - Am I happy? Fulfilled? At peace?
   -  Why, or why not?

2. One huge mistake people make in their lives is sheltering themselves from pain - Hiding from the truth. Denying reality. DEATH exists. Become at peace with that. MURDERS and RAPE and DISEASES happen. Accept it. Once you face the facts that life isn't all rainbows and butterflies, you will be more prepared to handle tough situations, and you won't take disappointment as such a shock.

3. Determine which people in your life are actually worth your care - Eliminate all the fake friends and the users from your list, and list only those who make you feel happy when you're around them. Now make an effort to spend more time around those people, and less time around the people who do no good for you or your life. It's okay to be a little selfish in this sense every once in a while. Just be sure you give back an equal amount to what you take (and that doesn't only mean physical things, but emotional needs, as well).

4. Look on the dark side - Yes, this isn't a typo, the DARK side. Because often times, when dealing with personal relationships, looking on the bright side just leads to disappointment when we are let down from what we expect or wish to happen. As the cliche' goes, hope for the best, expect the worst. Did you know the formula for happiness is reality divided by expectations? What it means is don't think you are going to get what you want.

5. Find something you love to do, and do it -  Do it often. Simple as that.

6. Often, change is a good thing -  Welcome something new into your life, whether it be a new friend, a new interest (separate from the one from the step above), or a new favorite show you watch religiously. Change up your routine a little.

7. Think back to something you loved in your childhood - Was it your passion for doing hair? Your love of Barney? Maybe playing make-believe with your friends? Revisit one of those things, and you will most likely recreate the joy it used to bring. Play Barbies with a young child, or do a little girls hair. Let a child bring you into their carefree world for a few hours. It could be your little cousin, your own children, or you could babysit.

8. Always try to see every situation from each person's perspective - Don't just see things your way, actually take the time to try to see things through the eyes of another. You'll gain insight, which can be enlightening.

9. Blast some music and just dance your heart out - Lose it in the music. Either alone or with friends. Just dance for hours. You'll get a good workout and release endorphins, which make you happy.

10. Try something you've never tried before - Take up a class, or use directions and try to figure it out for yourself. Cooking, painting, whatever. And if you screw up, laugh it off. It was all in the name of the experience.

11. Smile. As often as possible - When you don't even feel like it. Just do it. All the time. It will eventually rub off.

12. Stop hiding from your misery - Realize the cause of your negative feelings and attempt to fix the problem. If you simply cannot fix it, screw it. Anything that is out of your control is a waste of your time. No longer let it faze you.

13. In the end it comes down to you -  Only YOU have the power to allow yourself to be happy.
