Navigating the Productivity Dead Zones: The Rise of Hybrid and Remote Work
TL;DR Summary
The era of hybrid and remote work has ushered in a new "workday dead zone" between 4 and 6 p.m., where productivity tends to dip. Some individuals use this time to complete personal tasks and make up for it later. Microsoft researchers have observed a "triple peak day" in workers' productivity, with peaks before lunch, after lunch, and to a lesser extent, in the evening. This shift in productivity times may pose challenges for employers who want employees back in the office, but it offers flexibility and work-life balance for workers.
