Where Can You Find More Time? A New Survey Offers Some Clues

Calgary, Alberta April 26, 2004 -– People who work in offices spend more than half of their time every day reading. That was one of the results from a new survey conducted by More Better, a productivity enhancement company.

54% of every work is spent reading articles, reports, e-mails, books, memos and everything else that is involved in working, according to the survey of 250 people who work in offices.

Other interesting results include:

•    87% of people wish they had more time in their day to get work done
•    78% of people think they read too slowly
•    84% of people feel stress because of the amount of reading they have to do
•    92% of people are unable to finish all of the reading they should be doing and 96% of those people could do their job better if they could do that reading

"It's interesting,", says T.O. Whenham, founder of More Better, "people work on improving every aspect of what they do at work, except reading. We learn to get better at using computers, better at writing, better at having meetings, organizing time and handling stress. Yet we learn to read in elementary school and leave it at that. We never try to improve, so we don't improve."

"People clearly want to be more productive,", Whenham says, "yet they seem to ignore what takes up the biggest part of their day. Even a small increase in our reading speed would free up several minutes every day." Indeed, if a person doubled their reading speed they would free up a couple of hours every day for other tasks.
