If you want to know when you'll be the least focused at work, just check your calendar for Mondays and Tuesdays around a holiday. Yesterday was a good example, the Monday right after staying up late watching the big game.
The jobs website Zippia.com looked at every day last year and tracked how many people clicked on an article called, "7 Reasons You Have No Motivation to Work." They found we hit peak laziness in April and October, with these being the ten laziest days of the year, all of which fall on a Monday or Tuesday . . .
1. Tuesday, October 29th, just before Halloween.
2. Monday, April 22nd, the day after Easter.
3. Monday, April 29th. Just a random Monday when no one felt like working.
4. Monday, November 11th. That was Veterans Day, but a lot of people had to work.
5. Tuesday, April 23rd. Two days after Easter.
6. Monday, May 20th. A random Monday between Mother's Day and Memorial Day.
