How to “look busy”:

1. Don’t watch film/YouTube etc. at your office!

2. You can listen to some music, if you have earphones; however, make sure that:

a. You don’t listen to the music too loud and people around you are not forced to listen to this music too!

b. Control your body while you listen to the music. Don’t dance on the chair, hit the floor according to rhythm with your leg, or play the piano with your fingers on the table.

3. Don’t chit-chat with people in the kitchen for too long. If you have to discuss something, go rather to another floor and meet someone there. Don’t let your boss see you laughing and doing nothing.

4. Get yourself a privacy filter on your laptop screen. It is a black plastic element which you can put on your screen and it will be more difficult for people around you to see what is actually on your screen. If someone asks, you can always say that it is for a “confidentiality” reason.

5. Always keep few “smart-looking” documents open and available with one click. If you only notice someone coming, quickly change your current screen to those smart-looking documents.

6. If your working time is being registered in the system and you can go home earlier in case your working hours per day have been reached, start your day at the office really early, then you can do whatever you want there and there will be no one to watch you for one or two hours before the rest will come.
