Office workers who spend everyday glaring at a computer screen find it hard to keep their concentration throughout work hours. It is difficult to access Facebook, Twitter or other websites when the boss is watching.

“Here comes my boss” (http://web.humoruniv.com/prog/ohmygod/ohmygod.html), provided by popular site Humor University, is a simple route to avoid being caught slacking: It returns the screen immediately to a desktop setting.

Double monitor programs provide an upgraded version of this. Available on numerous download websites, they allow users to have several screens in one monitor; just by pressing a key the screen can switch back to that of a diligent workers’ at a glimpse.

Recently, Bay Gross, a computer science major at Yale University, made Hardlywork.in, a site that automatically converts Facebook news feeds into an Excel spreadsheet.

The spreadsheet is carefully engineered to help those feel as professional as possible. Users can see what friends are doing with updates appearing as new spreadsheet rows. They can also “like” entries by clicking on the “like” column.

The Excel file is also named “daily cash reconciliation” to make it seem legitimate.

Gross thought of the idea when his friend with a government internship said she could only check her Facebook after work.

The site is attracting around 10,000 unique users everyday.

Bay Gross, said it only took 15 hours to develop. Visitors are greeted to the site with: “Feeling unprofessional when you check your Facebook profile at the office? Well there’s nothing more professional than a nice spreadsheet.”
