This is not consistent with what I'm seeing. Monday before 2 pm nothing happens. Between Monday 2 pm and 5 pm suddenly everybody wants to get 2 days of work done and fails. And tuesday normal, regular, productive work starts, and continues until Friday. Usually the tough thing is on oneself to really stop between 5 pm and 6 pm because then the productivity drops severly.
My guess would be from these observations, that the most success happen Thursday around 3 pm. But maybe software development is special since there are few tasks that could be done in 1.5 hours anyways.
- dx034 9y agoI think the problem is that they looked at completed projects. So if you were productive Tue-Fri, maybe you still need to write some comments or docs to complete the task which is perfect for a Monday morning. Looking at hourly data, number of completed tasks should be a measure for low productivity.

- erikb 9y agoMaybe that's why this is the most productive time. In that case I would be forced to agree.
