Have you ever played a game while working?

[Kennysplash]

There are times when you don’t have much to do, or you are on a break. I sometimes use that time to play off a few short games at work, and it’s more easier when I’m working remote times. It helps me get through the day. I don’t do it when I have serious work going on though. 
 

Do you play when you are working?

I'm also guilty of playing games during work hours, but only during breaks or slow periods because I find it as a way to recharge.

I've been sneaking in a few games during work, especially when I'm assigned to work remotely. Operating from home makes it so easy to get sucked into a quick game. .

I do this as well. I also take breaks to watch streams of games that I'm interested in. It's really a great way to pass the time.

I've never done it. I was the model employee - at work early, perform well and usually always professional.

I’ve played a few games during breaks while working, but I try not to mix them too much to stay productive!

Not while working, but on my lunch or rest brakes, yes. I wouldn’t want to take my attention away from my duties while working but on my rest breaks I will certainly play some mobile games if there isn’t anything else to attend to. It’s a good way to wind down for the rest of the shift

I was doing that before and now, I practice responsible gaming all the time and I also separate work from playtime. But I'm not denying the fact that mobile games are perfect for short breaks.

I agree wholeheartedly. It's best to prioritize your work while on the job because it's what pays the bills.

I don't want to share an ugly incident that happened due to my obsession with games. So, I learnt to put what matters first. Gaming can be so additive if you don't check yourself.

I play games during breaktime to recharge my batteries because I know that it's very healthy to take short breaks.

I would say that gaming breaks help to boost productivity in many ways. Taking time to relax has helped me maintain focus.
