To know you have wasted time on work is when the work has not yielded much positive results. Calculate the work out come per time spent and by doing that you should be able to tell if you have spent your time worthwhile or not. As they say time is money and so is work.
 
If you have wasted your time on work, trust me your intuition would tell you, you must not be told.but it is very simple to know if you have wasted your time, just reminisce, since you started working, what have you got to show for it?
 
An average worker can have a total time of working for 8 hours straight, however some of us after completing work we tend to recall what are the things we have done for the past 8 hours and some might end up left unanswered.

Now to avoid such problems and doubt if you just have wasted your 8 hours of work, try to reflect on these questions.

1. How should the individual in this position contribute to the organization’s mission?

2. How do employees assess their work's impact?

3. How do individuals communicate with clients and users in this role?


These questions are my usual keypoints to know if I have wasted my 8 hours in the workplace or not, I do hope it help you as well. How about you? If you have something to add please feel free to drop it in the comment.
Thank you for enlightening me about these. Sometimes, you think you have done the best whereas unknowingly it is even the worse, more reason a person needs Someone to be checking his acts especially in the line of business. I am so inspired by every part of this thread. Thank you very much.
 
The major point would be if you have put in so much effort at work. But then the reward or the payment you recieve is not worth the effort. Also if the company is not looking like it is heading towards any meaningful direction.
 
When it is not yielding anything. Some people have worked in a place for years yet nothing to show for it, you will know that you have wasted your time and you should start looking at other alternatives. Some people are not where they are suppose to be that's why they are not making it in life. Once you have nothing to show for what you are doing, make a change.
 
If you have a job that you do, you can evaluate yourself daily. Mind you no effort is wasted, if its not yielding the desired outcome now doesn't mean it won't later. Sometimes instead of doing something not profitable that hour, you can pick a book and read.
 
I believe for every gathering there times when some don't see the usefulness of waiting or been in such a gathering because to some of us it a waste of time and waste of time to some is like a waste of resource, time is very precious and it should be used judiciously, always make proper use of your time, make it meaningful.
 
I wouldn't agree with what you wrote up there. You only know you have wasted a lot of time on your job when you fail to reach your goals and objectives. When you don't find fulfillment in what you do.
 
Wasting of time o a particular thing is relative, it happens to everyone on a daily basis without notice. You can imagine someone on phone from morning till evening chatting with friends. Such is surely into something but it's just a waste of time.

In the first place I think it is out of place to work for 8 hours stretch. It makes life more difficult for employees such that at the end of the day they become so tired that they couldn't recall anything good they did for themselves, or for the company. Our labor laws should be reviewed to address this issues.

When I'm working I have a task manager book, where I document all my tasks for the day, so when I'm done for work I'll tick off all what I've done and take note of the ones I'll need to do later.
This helps me keep track of all my activities at work.
