Study These are the best days, times, months, and seasons to be productiveStudy These are the best days, times, months, and seasons to be productiveTask and project management platform Redboothrecently partnered withdata content firm Priceonomics to look atwhen productivity spikes and slows down durning the work week.The research team reportedly took a look at anonymized data of Redbooth users, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Here are some of the results that stood out.Youre more likely to get the most work done on MondayBased on Redbooth data from October 2016 to October 2017, the research found that on Monday, people got the highest number of tasks done, at 20.4%.Tuesday welches just shy of tying with Monday at 20.2%, while Wednesday was 19.3%, Thursday was 18.6%, and Friday was the least productive day of the workweek at 16.7%.As for the weekend, Saturday was 2.4% and Sunday was 2.3%, the least productive days by far.Youll probably knock out that big project just before no onBased on Redbooth data from October 2015 to October 2017, the research showed that once things get started in the morning, productivity eventually reaches its highest point before noon.This brings us to the magic productivity time of sorts 11 A.M. At this hour, 9.7% of tasks are finished - the highest amount of any hour of the day.Im actually most productive early in the morning, when the office is quiet and I can stay focused. But I suspect the reason most peoples productivity spikes around 11am is because theyre fully caffeinated, working at full speed, and coworkers are around to collaborate with, Jeff Harrell, VP of Marketing at Redbooth, told Ladders.After that, productivity goes south, then slightly upward again before dipping slightly, and then dropping very drastically again at 5 P.M.Heres a monthly breakdown of users productivityThe research showed how productive users were every month. Based on Redbooth data from October 2013 to October 2017, it found that October was t he highest month for productivity, with users getting 9.5% of annual tasks done at that time.November claimed second distributions-mix in terms of efficiency at 9.0%, while September came in third at 8.8%.January, on the other hand, was the least productive time, with people only getting 7.2% of things done then. February wasnt much better, at 7.6%.When all the months were then put together by season, fall turned out to be the most productive, with 27.3% of tasks getting done. Winter turned out to be the least productive time of the year, at 22.8%.
