Are you being productive at work today?

Chances are, yes, you are. That’s according to a survey, performed by temporary-staffing firm Accountemps, that reports around 39% of human resource managers say that Tuesday is the most productive day of the week for employees.

“Many workers spend Monday catching up from the previous week and planning the one ahead,” Max Messmer, chairman of Accountemps, told the Los Angeles Times. “On Tuesday, employees may begin to have time to focus on individual tasks and become more productive.

The survey also says that employees tend to be far more productive in the morning than the afternoon, with Tuesday hours between 10 a.m. and noon being the most productive of the week.

So, enjoy the rest of a productive Tuesday. (We hope reading The Rundown counts!)
