How to Waste Time at Work Without Getting Caught

We've all had those afternoons where tasks are done, but the clock refuses to budge. How do you pass the time productively for your sanity, without drawing unwanted attention?

The Art of the Stealth Tab

First and foremost, master your keyboard shortcuts. On Windows, Alt + Tab allows you to jump between windows instantly. On Mac, it’s Cmd + Tab. Keep your work spreadsheet or email client open directly behind your browser.

Low-Key Interactive Sites

Avoid sites with loud audio or flashy animations. Simple text-based simulators or mouse-tracking toys are perfect because they look like standard screen activity from a distance.
