Why it's a problem: The "harmless" 15 minutes you spend here and there surfing the Web and e-mailing friends adds up over the course of a full workday. In fact, research by Robert Half International indicates that, on average, employees spend nearly an hour a day on personal Internet use while at the office.

According to Websense, Inc., this could cost American corporations more than $178 billion annually in lost productivity. You're also leaving an electronic trail of your non-work activities that might come back to haunt you.

The solution: If you're a celebrity-gossip junkie or sports score-checking fanatic, break yourself of the habit of scanning the Internet while working on projects.

Although taking the occasional mental break to look up something online is part of modern-day work life, save the majority of your in-depth news and blog reading for home. You'll stay focused and get more quality work accomplished.

And don't forget that your office computer is actually the employer's equipment. What you do on that computer is, in fact, the company's business.

This sounds like it was written by some HR flunkie who's trying to spread the gospel.
The drawback to marital longevity is your wife always knows when you're really interested in her and when you're just trying to bury it.

Some HR junkie with connections. You know there are icehole managers out there who'll read this and crack down on free surfing throughout the day.
