A New Zealand company is conducting a six-week trial testing four-day work weeks. For those of us needing to be productive over five days, here are facts to consider:
1. Mondays and Tuesdays are the most productive days of the week.
2. Adults who sleep 7.5-9 hours a night are 20 percent more productive.
3. People are more productive when they exercise before work.
4. Employees who sit near a window are more productive and miss less work.
5. Drinking sufficient water increases daily productivity by 14 percent.
6. Multitasking increases error rate by 50 percent.
