Introduction: Why Time Management Matters to You
“Day, n. A period of twenty-four hours, mostly misspent. “ – Ambrose Bierce
In May 2010, Google brought nostalgia to its homepage. Its daily doodle celebrated Pac-Man’s 30th birthday on that particular day, and the Google overlords craftily replicated not only the look, but the actual playability of the original Pac-Man game. Tired employees got online that morning and discovered that their search engine now featured one of their favorite back-in-the-day arcade games, and it wouldn’t be an understatement to say that every single United State of America was soon abuzz with these employees tapping their keyboard’s arrow keys with unusual fervor.
So what? Well, someone got curious and calculated how much action Google’s Pac-Man really got. The blog RescueTime came up with a total playtime of 4.8 million man-hours, and a scary big percentage of numbers happened during work hours. They took it a step farther and assumed that the average employee playing Pac-Man cost his employer $25 an hour, which meant that the Google’s overlords took a pretty sizable bite out of the day’s earnings—a $120 million bite, actually.
That’s just the big picture. Let’s zoom in and think about the more personal effects. There’s no way of knowing how many people stayed late at the office because they might’ve (oops) let time get away from them on a silly arcade game. Maybe a couple guys found themselves walking into meetings not quite so prepared thanks to the gaming distraction. Some people probably took their break (plus a little) to amuse themselves with Pac-Man instead of going for that quick walk they promised themselves.
