On Faking Productivity

by Jon Ray on November 25, 2008

Status updates via Twitter, Facebook and MySpace have become the equivalent to putting sunglasses on, propping a textbook up on your desk and pretending to read, when you’re actually sleeping. You’ve got to wonder, how many people are typing, “Going for a run and getting an early start on the day,” when in reality, they just hit the snooze button on the alarm, smirking in their sleep for the next two hours, knowing that the rest of the world is wondering how one person can be such a go-getter? Enter EasyTweets.com and you can take an entire week off, while your adoring online public believes you to be hard at work. Making a good impression on a daily basis has never been so easy! And all this time, you thought I was working around the clock.

This is part of a series of facts designed to help me figure out who I really am. Got some insight? Leave a comment.
