Wednesday (by far) has the biggest output of any day.
As a thredUP employee, I love WFHW as it provides a really nice change of pace that breaks up the week and keeps everything fresh. As James also mentioned, it gives you a designated day each week that you know have to yourself for uninterrupted focus.

I’ve worked from home for 12 years and more companies than you think have work from home days. In fact, one company I used to work for, Lockheed Martin, had an “in the office” day. I went in on Monday and worked from home Tuesday through Friday.

I personally feel that I was much more productive working from home simply because I did waste time “around the water cooler”.

I now work at home full time freelancing for a couple of large international companies and couldn’t be happier.

The company’s been doing it for roughly a year now. They didn’t provide any stats, but if productivity had gone south, I imagine they’d have dropped it slightly less than roughly a year ago.

How long has this been tried for? Is there any data that supports the claim for productivity boosts?
