London - What percentage of your time at work is spent watching videos of kittens on YouTube?

A devilish bit of technology can reveal if you are a “cyberstriver” or a “cyberloafer”.

RescueTime.com assesses what proportion of your working day is spent working and how much is spent socialising, shopping, banking and procrastinating online.

It may sound like a gimmick, but academics are looking into how to prevent workplace internet abuse after finding we spend up to 80 percent of our time cyberloafing.

If RescueTime reveals you have a problem, download a Facebook blocker. Without other people’s holiday snaps to spy on, there will be nothing to stop you updating spreadsheets from nine until five. - Daily Mail
