Work Got You Stressed Out? These Productivity Hacks Help You Manage Your Workload

Americans aren't strangers to putting in their time on the job. A 2014 Gallup poll found that 40% of U.S. employees work over 50 hours each week, while 20% work more than 60 hours a week. Furthermore, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average American works 8.8 hours a day.

But just because you're physically sitting in an office doesn't mean you're making good use of that time. In fact, recent data suggests that despite the amount of time most of us spend at work, the typical employee is only productive for about three hours a day. Ouch.
