I know. I know. \n\nI had the same trouble. \n\nSo, I started re-checking my work, which I had completed.  Just as if I am the Customer or the Buyer. . And believe me not, I could find lot many things as "undersighted"  (or is it "overlooked" ?) by me !!  It killed the time splendidly. \n\nAnd moreover, (don't look at me, blushing like this), bosses started "talking" less with me.

Have a strategy meeting with your 'partner'.  Break down the steps to completion of the project beforehand.  Give them choices of what they would like to take on while you take on another portion of the project.  Schedule a followup meeting to see what the progress of both of your work is.  \nYou have to be careful not to appear too assertive or like you are the boss of the project.  As long as some people know that you will take on the entire project if they slack off - they will slack off.  They have no integrity or work ethics, but they are happy to pick up the paycheck.

Come up with a few productive ideas and call a meeting with your boss.  It will make you seem proactive and could lead to an interesting project.  \n\nIf you still get no work or only busy work out of this, you learned that the job is basically going nowhere.  Do some snooping to find out if layoffs are impending. Don't be surprised if they're not.  Some companies are just like that.\n\nAt this point you have one of two choices.\n1. Look for a different job or career.\n\n2. Rejoice! you've just found loads of free time in your schedule.  Here are a few ideas of how you can spend it:\na)  Write a book.\nb)  At a computer? Download and read ebooks.\nc)  Run a side business.\nd)  Hop on ebay and do some selling.\ne)  Take long lunches.\nf)  Take naps\ng)  Place a paper mache manequin in your seat and stay home.

If you want it bad enough, you will find the time. It would also help if you described what your typical day is like now. You just say you are "busy", but what are you busy doing?

Work on it for an hour or 2, make sure you brainstorm your rough draft first, that way you have facts and things to write down. After the hour or 2 is up, take a 15 minute break as stated before and get a drink ro walk around your house or computer area.

Start by leaving work at the workplace, do not bring it home.  Use the time going to work to psych yourself up (I know I can do this, it is only a few hours...) and use the time getting home to dump (Wow, do I work with a bunch of ....).  Finish dumping before you get home.  Scream if you need to (so who care what stranger think, right?).\nRelax.  Even if there a a list of things which need to get done that is a mile long, home is the nest for feeling safe a secure.  Calm down.  You are home.  You made it through another day.  Spend five to fifteen minutes listening to music or talking with any family which might be home.  Pet the cat if you have one.\nOkay, now you are ready do what ever you need to get done (dinner, chores, workout, whatever).  Think about what you need to do and then get up and do it.\nYou will find that if you do a really ggod dumb on the way home, you will be very much more effective once you get there.  This will allow more time (including the kick back time).\nA couple of other things:  a good balanced meal is better than skipping one 'cause you ain't got the time.  Lights...  lots of lights.  What you pay in electric bill is cheaper than drugs and the light (especially in the winter) will have a great effect.\nYou might want to investigate meditation.  It also can work wonders.

It depends on how often you spend 12-16 hours in the office.\nI have seen many people do that, but it amazing how much time they waste goofing off or even having to redo the work after they make errors.\n\nThis has worked for me:  Plan what you need to do, try to think of 3 or 4 things that could go wrong and be ready for them.  Keep plugging away at the task, but take a break every few hours to recharge your energy.\n\nThere is no job that has a great financial future that does not take extra hours sometimes.  If you never want to work overtime, take up a job delivering newspapers.\n\nIf you want to advance, you will have to go on business trips once in a while.  But remember that the people you meet may be able to help you in the future, too.

Start by taking a 1 month vacation with at least 2 weeks spent doing nothing!  Then ease yourself into doing things that you used to love...run, plant flowers, shop, etc. (whatever)\n\nThen when you go back to work, make yourself slow down.

There are probably lots of other things all of us could be working on right now, but it is about 10:00 a.m. here and I am retired and having my morning coffee and waiting for my husband to feel well enough to get up, so this is how I pass the time.  It is interesting and I learn some new things by researching questions.

depending on the type of work you do...keep a stack of papers on your desk, and if someone happens by, start shuffling the papers, like you're looking for a particular sheet, or pretend to be reading one, maybe even use a highlighter, and mumble to yourself (but loud enough for someone walking by to hear) about how much work you have to do yet today....

If you have a pc and internet, you can do it yourself.\n\nIf I have time, I can try.  But what to do? I am not getting any free time now.

Until my boss comes in and give me something to do?

First things first. I personally do my things according to how important the thing/project is. Then I go one at a time with a faster pace - fast enough not to make mistakes otherwise, I have to redo it and it is obviously a waste of time already spent. Everything is important so make a list of the ones thats due sooner. Make A to do list and check them out soon as you are done. Just calm down and focus.

Have a cup of tea and relax with a good book. Surely you can take 20 min and do that before you finish your work.

Set some priority of your work. ones you get that done just use computer as much as you want. But not with out getting your work done. So work 1st and Computers comes after that.

Relax.  You have nothing to worry about.  After two years of work, you know this stuff like the back of your hand.  This is the time to lean back and relax so you'll feel comfortable tomorrow.  I'd say, "Good luck," but you won't need it -- trust me!
