David, I’m surprised about the food % as well. It could reference the coffee house / open bag of snacks type of thing. Thanks for stopping by & for commenting.

good write up Trent. And I completely agree with trying to present one item at time. I don’t understand why sites try fill up sidebars with as much crap as possible to try and take their users away from the information they were trying to find in the first place.

As Steve Krug would say, we don’t figure things out or pay attention initially. We muddle through them. With xx amount of browser windows/tabs open and xx apps running while browsing, it’s easy to see why it’s rare that 100% of your full attention goes to one particular web page.

I’m pretty surprised at the high % of eating/drinking though, almost beating out actual work. Unless this accounts for mobile browsing too. I’m always eating lunch and reading news on my iphone, but rarely eat while at the office desk.

Ha! Who said I get anything done?!? Plus, anyone who fills out a survey for me definitely qualifies as a close friend.

This is very true, but begs the question:

How can you have 83 closest friends and still get stuff done?!
