Workers who find that their work days stretch beyond the normal eight hours can take some solace in knowing they’re not alone.
A recent Monster.com poll showed more that more than three-quarters of employees work more than eight hours a day.
When asked “On average, how long is your workday,” 58 percent of readers of the career Web site’s home page poll said they worked between eight and 10 hours, while 23 percent of respondents to the non-scientific poll said they worked 10 hours or more.
If you’re looking to cut down the number of hours you work, Monster offers these tips to help tame the never ending work week:
·       Commit to 40 hours a week for the next three to six months.
·       Leave work on time one or two days a week. If you can’t, leave the papers at the office.
·       Make yourself unavailable to work on the weekends by scheduling activities.
·       Identify and eliminate unproductive tasks, projects and meetings.
·       Reduce email and voice mail by not checking them more than twice a day and being selective about who has your contact information.
