Many of us feel like we can’t get any work done because we’re politely replying to useless emails, watching our nails grow in boring meetings and trying not to shout at our co-workers for showing us another baby photo (and by baby, we mean kitten/ puppy). If you’ve ever wondered how much all of this takes away from your actual productivity, Australian enterprise company, Atlassian, created an awesome Infographic for your viewing pleasure.
