Switching Back The Clocks

Switching Back the Clocks - To Greater Productivity
 
Twice a year – spring and fall – everyone in North America adjusts their clocks. In autumn, clocks are adjusted back one hour, giving everyone an extra hour of time. For the average worker employed outside the home, the time shift can be a hassle. The switch in time means waking up too early and tossing and turning before heading into work. An employee may be used to waking up at 8 in the morning. With the time change, though, that eight o’clock is now seven, and if the worker’s employer does not need workers to arrive for work until nine, that hour in the morning may be wasted. Worse, the time switch can leave workers feeling disoriented and sluggish throughout the day as their bodies work to adjust to the new time.
 
For work from home employees, the time switch can be an actual boon. Since the work-from-home worker sets their own hours, they can wake up when their body naturally wishes to wake. It does not matter whether the alarm clock says seven or eight in the morning. There is no need for the worker employed at home to go through a few days in a daze, waiting for their body to adjust to a time change. In fact, the work at home worker can use the extra hour that comes with the time change. Getting up an hour early means squeezing in an extra hour – and maybe enjoying a slight break later in the day. Since studies have shown that early morning hours tend to be most productive, the work at home worker can use the extra hour in the morning to get more work done.
 
Other workers might be stocking up on coffee and grumbling when it is time to turn back the clocks. The savvy work-at-home employee, though, knows that the extra hour means both money and work time gained.
