What do you do each day that doesn�t contribute to your writing � and can you eliminate it?

What do I do each day that doesn't contribute to my writing? The short answer would be everything I do during the day at work! Short of giving me a few small stories to share on Twitter, my 8am to 5pm does almost nothing to improve my writing. Sadly, I can't do without the paycheck so unless I can win the lotto or inherit money from a rich, long lost family member we don't yet know, I am not eliminating my job anytime soon.
On a rare occasion I am happily able to draft a letter or policy at work that lets me stretch my writing muscles a little. That doesn't happen often, partly I think is due to the fact that my job has nothing to do with the degree I received in college. Perhaps my employers have forgotten that I am educated in both journalism and advertising and would have the skills to write most anything they require. Instead they prefer to have an intern fumble through that work.
