] Date Posted: 09:06:14 11/26/13 Tue If you are feeling Monday blues, you're probably on your own. A surprising new research suggests that Monday morning is the time when the majority of us get the most work done. The research done by Microsoft Office, and quoted in The Daily Mail, finds that 10 am on Monday is the best time to start tackling your 'to-do' list and get most items on it checked off.

The Microsoft research instead claims that productivity slumps on Tuesday afternoons as workers begin to procrastinate. Related: Here are seven steps to end procrastination But the Monday productivity high comes with a catch: the study says that if you don't complete your list by the end of Monday, the chances of finishing everything on it drop dramatically. Two thirds of the respondents polled admitted that they never managed to finish all their tasks if they abandoned their list on Monday. Related: Should you quit 9-to-5? The main reason for this is lack of time, but also procrastination with with 24 per cent admitting they simply put off tasks they dislike. Of all the big tasks workers face on a daily basis, a burgeoning inbox and unread emails was cited as the most demanding and was the top priority on most lists. Two thirds of workers even said 'arranging their to-do list' was a priority in itself. Another task keeping workers busy was filling in their work and timesheets, a time consuming activity cited by 50 per cent of those questioned. This latest study contradicts previous researches - and popular perception - that Tuesdays were the week's most productive days with workers tackling their biggest projects and deriving a sense of accomplishment.
