Friday Is The Least Productive Day For Workers: A new study by Texas A&M University reveals that Friday afternoon is the least productive time of the week for workers. Researchers studied 789 employees over the course of two years. They looked at their typing speed, typing errors, mouse activity and other data from their computers.
Dr. Taehyun Roh says, “We found that computer use increased during the week, then dropped significantly on Fridays. People typed more words and had more mouse movement, mouse clicks and scrolls every day from Monday through Thursday, then less of this activity on Friday. Employees were less active in the afternoons and made more typos in the afternoons — especially on Fridays. This aligns with similar findings that the number of tasks workers complete increases steadily from Monday through Wednesday, then decreases on Thursday and Friday.”
