Research shows exact time most office workers hit a slump
OFFICE workers will be at their most productive at 10.22am and hit a slump at 1.27pm, a survey has revealed.
The afternoon then gets progressively worse, with a further lull at 2.06pm.
And nearly six in ten struggle to get through a day without feeling highs and lows of productivity.
Spending too much time in front of a computer, being interrupted by colleagues and not taking enough breaks were among the main reasons for not feeling constantly switched on at work.
