Three-day workweek is the most productive for employees, study says

Three-day workweek is the most productive for employees, study says

Time to let your boss know: A study shows employees function best in a three-day work week. Japanese researchers analyzed the employment habits and cognitive test scores for 3,000 Australian men and 3,500 women, all over the age of 40. They found working 25 hours per week achieved the best test scores.

    What this study measures does not necessarily support its conclusions. What it's missing is that peak cognitive function is not necessary in order to be productive.

    If you work five days a week, three of those days with peak cognitive function and two of those with lowered cognitive function, you may get more work done than if you only worked the three days.

    This study hasn't really determined the point of diminishing returns at which further time on the job will no longer produce results. It also doesn't find how much recovery time is needed before peak cognition is restored.
