1) Addiction, since we get hooked on repetitive technological rituals such as refreshing the email or Twitter.
2) Procrastination, that is, the habit of postponing what we should do, because it bores or overwhelms us.
3) Job dissatisfaction, which leads us to cyber sloth as a form of passive protest.
Some companies establish filters in the computers to avoid the phenomenon, but generally it is something that each one manages. If it causes you problems, there are programs and applications that help you control your laziness. Aim: Forest, Quitter, Focuslock or Be Focused.
