In a survey of U.S. working adults sponsored by Good Technology, more than 80 percent of people continue working when they have left the office - for an average of seven extra hours each week - almost another full day of work. That's a total of close to 30 hours a month or 365 extra hours every year. They're also using their cellphones to mix work and their personal life in ways never seen before.
The study also revealed that:
- 68 percent of people check their work emails before 8 a.m.
- The average American first checks their phone around 7:09 a.m.
- 50 percent check their work email while still in bed.
- The work day is growing -- 40 percent still do work email after 10 p.m.
- 69 percent will not go to sleep without checking their work email.
- 57 percent check work emails on family outings.
- 38 percent routinely check work emails while at the dinner table.
