Why some people are more productive in the afternoons
There are several reasons why people work better in the afternoon.
- Based on circadian rhythms, some people just naturally focus better in the late afternoons or evening.
- Working from home has also played a role in uncovering natural energy patterns.
- Parkinson's law is at work here too. It is the idea that work expands to fill the time allotted. In the morning, we feel we have all the time in the world to focus on our to-do list. But when 2pm rolls around, we kick into high gear and accomplish all our tasks with the limited time left.
