Understanding Circadian Rhythms and Productivity
People's energy levels follow patterns through the day, typically with a peak in the morning, a trough in the middle, and a recovery later on. Matching individuals' chronotypes to tasks and times can enhance performance. Most individuals lean towards a 'larkiness' pattern, yet a significant percentage are strong 'owls'. Remote work flexibility enables better alignment of work schedules with personal energy peaks, improving productivity.
