Whether or not you are getting your work done, it’s important to look busy. If you look like you’ve got a lot of downtime at work, people might think you are expendable; here are some great tips to looking really busy, even if you’re not . .

1. Always walk around the office briskly and Often with a sense of urgency.
It doesn’t matter where you’re going: a meeting, the bathroom, or on some random stroll around the office. When you walk the halls, keep a brisk pace. If someone tries to stop you for a chat, give that person a quick hello or wave without missing a step. You’re too busy to talk and can’t waste one second lollygagging around.

2. Always keep a stack of paper or binders in your hand while away from your desk
The papers can be blank, or the binder empty. It doesn’t matter. No one will know. Better yet, stuff the papers into the binder. Either way, it will look like work. This is especially important when hanging out at a coworker’s cubicle or workstation. An armful of paper makes it looks like you’re talking about work when you’re really just talking about how wrong America was for not choosing your favorite person to win the Voice.

3. While at your desk, run the tape on your adding machine with random calculations (if applicable).
Not only does it make you look busy, it makes you sound busy. Rip the tape off and sigh loudly every few minutes to make it seem like you’re working diligently to solve some major problem.

4. Stare intently at your computer screen.
Keep your hand on the mouse and click three quick times. Then feverishly type on your keyboard. Repeat. To be even more convincing, open an email draft and start typing stuff. Create a shopping list or something.

5. Constantly write things on Post-it notes.
This is works if you don’t use a computer at work. You can use them to jot down that shopping list or a playlist you want to create on your iPod. Perhaps you want to practice your signature or come up with a list of potential names for the kids you plan to have one day. Or, maybe you just want to doodle. Whatever you do, keep that pen moving. Make sure at the end of the day to collect all your notes. You don’t want any evidence of your busy work laying around for prying eyes.

6. Wear your glasses.
Even if they’re just for reading, keep them on. Always. And if you don’t need them, buy a fake pair. Busy people wear glasses.

7. Don’t talk. Don’t say a peep.
If a coworker calls your name, ignore her. When she comes to your desk, pop your head up from your pad of post its, computer monitor, or adding machine with a surprised look on your face. Apologize and explain how all this work has made you completely oblivious to world.

8. Use your cell phone to call your desk phone.
Answer it and carry on a fake conversation. Keep it brief and throw in a “right, yes, and ok” every few words or so. End the conversation with “I’ll get right on it”, and clumsily hang up the phone. Throw in one of those loud sighs for good measure. It seems the boss has just assigned you with yet another project that is sure to keep you busy for the rest of the day.

9. Type and Scribble Furiously
Whether you are doing actual work, finishing up your shopping list, or chatting with your mates, you should always be typing or scribbling furiously. Because you are a busy person and you need to finish this task as fast as possible to move on to the next . . .

10. Do some actual work..but not too much
Use this as a last resort. When all else fails, do a little work. But don’t spread yourself too thin! Easy there, tiger. Don’t do today what can wait until tomorrow.

FakeNEWSevryday:

op is serious but the mod that forward this to fp

The MOD sef I sure sey e no dey like 2go work but he dey like 2 receive salary. But, d points na die I teeyuuuu

Lolss! But what does it pay to look busy without being busy. All the energy spent in forming busy can actually be used in being productive.

it works perfectly , body no be firewood

Damilare5882:
All these things is moreless like working ....

It's even more work than the work itself. Things like this are exhaustive and addictive such that when the real work comes, u won't want to do it.

Are you not a Christain?

I do that, just to avoid more work..... When I need a little rest..... Some bosses can make you work more than termites

Haahahahahah..... Smh @Op.. You made my morning!

leksmedia:
Then when the quarterly evaluation gets done, and obviously you will be fired,i hope you will be kind enough to come back and give us the how to be effective and super effective to ensure 100% effectiveness at work. I will be looking forward to that post.

I got my eyes on you boy. even if you change your name and use another to post. I already know your handwriting

Life is not that hard bros...

And if the government look like they are paying workers' salaries without actually paying them, it'd be justified under this 'section', yes?

Just quit the job already and let some serious folks take over. We don't have the luxury of paying 'ghost workers'. Quit!

David25:
chaiii!
Heaven and hell is real

Abeg,thank u jare.More reason why many workers are been laid of their job.fake people fake nation

See matter!!!!!!!! I'd rather be a confirmed workaholic, there's nothing sweeter than working, setting and hitting targets and achieving results within set time.

This cannot work in most organisations nd op this is not educative but destructive as this can be likened to an eye service or men pleaser. See a man that is diligent in his works, not see a man that knows how to do eye service.

DEvil's recruit

If I have to go through all this stress to look busy then, it is better to do the actual work.

I seriously need to adopt one of the points highlighted here .

l m jobless now because of that! Eye service is counter productive!!!

*Fill your table with lots of folders and papers* Lol... Anyone that approaches will just get the idea.

1. Always walk around the office briskly and Often with a sense of urgency.
This wont work in my office. The more serious you look the better they feel you can deliver on many deliverables.


2. Always keep a stack of paper or binders in your hand while away from your desk
Who stack of paper don epp? .

3. While at your desk, run the tape on your adding machine with random calculations (if applicable).
Well does it matter?

4. Stare intently at your computer screen.
Well this works for the unserious ones that really enjoy pay without work. People without a productive mind.

5. Constantly write things on Post-it notes.
Same as 4. Wetin you wan dey write... You no go taya?

6. Wear your glasses.
People like us using glasses 247 can explain the burden attached. Dont pray u finally end up with eye issues cos that work you are running from when it finally comes... You gonna have a setback. Busy people wear glasses... That's a misconception.

7. Don’t talk. Don’t say a peep.
Introvert Else boring

8. Use your cell phone to call your desk phone.
Why such a life! .

9. Type and Scribble Furiously
Just like 1 above

10. Do some actual work..but not too much
Better as you cannot kill yourself.

To do all of those things you have mentioned are more demanding than doing the work.....instead of you to encourage people to be hardworking and diligent in their respective day to day activities, you are here advocating laziness and redundancy.

u dey decieve urself

Then, what are you trying to teach us? Cheating on work
