We are in between 2 major summer holidays It took most of us about 4 days to recover from the Memorial Day 3-day weekend. Researchers say three-day weekends increase employee productivity by 40 percent. So we were productive and energetic by the time Friday came around, just in time for the following weekend.

On a trial basis, Microsoft gave 2,300 members of its staff every Friday off for a month. Those employees were 40% more productive having spent 20% less time in the workplace

In less than 2 weeks from now, July 4^th will fall on a Tuesday, which will create a 4-day weekend for many of us, so it stands to reason we will be even that much more productive. And will likely take 5 days to recover, just in time to enjoy a Sunday day off. By the way it is highly recommended we not attempt to catch up on work during long weekends other wise it throws off the whole more productive theory. So plan ahead and when it gets here … enjoy !
