Saturday - Productivity at home is much more important to me than productivity at work.
Friday... (Score:4, Funny)
As someone that does desktop support and whose work is quantified by the number of tickets closed each day, Friday is the most productive since that's the day I mass close all tickets which the customer has failed to respond to my attempts to communicate with them. As well as mass close all tickets over 2 weeks old even if I never attempted to contact the customer due to having too much work to do already. Fridays are awesome. Tuesday's are the worst, most people are too hungover to bother trying to show up for work on Monday so we don't get many tickets on that day, but they start showing up to work again on Tuesday and have either forgotten passwords, broken shit, or are too damn lazy to fill out some form they need to fill out and instead just call in a ticket. Idiots.

Zero Meetings Thursday (Score:5, Interesting)
We have a policy of not scheduling meetings on Thursdays. It's not 100% perfect but the meetings are fewer to non-existent on Thursdays so it's the most productive.
The morning hours are also most productive for me because I come in a couple of hours before others do so I can get a bunch of stuff done before I start getting interrupted. I used to have IM up but I was getting interrupted so often that I have a note: "IM is up for 5 interruptions then closed" as my message.
I keep track of my tasks in a database for yearly reviews among other things and find I log more hours on Wednesdays. Which doesn't necessarily make it more productive :)

Why is it that house work is never 'finished'?
Re: (Score:2)
Why is it that house work is never 'finished'?
Well, there is actually an interesting answer to that question...
There are vastly more ways for a house to be in disorder than there are for it to be in order, so anything that you do in home that isn't an effort aimed at decreasing the disorder of the house is very likely going to increase the disorder just by accident. That also explains why you need to clean up after you've cleaned the house, unless do everything in a perfectly planned and choreographed way.

Basically, as has since been confirmed by scientific research [dtic.mil], we are at our peak productivity in the afternoon - when we're at work - and our lowest energy levels in the evening, which is typically the time when we try to do our personal projects.

I like that solution. It seems though if you are too unproductive at work you will find yourself out of job and with no money for your hobby. There is a reason why they call it vocation not vacation.
Re: (Score:2)
My weekends are counter-productive, I start out with a list of things I should get done but end up tinkering, playing, partying, chilling or whatever else I fancy instead. Nothing gets stricken and usually the list grows to include cleaning up and shaping up after the weekend. In fact, most things that produce a tangible output are chores I need to do for housekeeping, maintenance or other general upkeep of my belongings or person. Quite often I look back and think "sigh, I didn't get anything done this wee

Seriously. Its frustrating. I try to not work too late cause I want to see my kids before bedtime but right around 4PM is when I get this big rush of energy. It was great in college and when I was single but now it just creates conflict in my life. So I'm stuck between wanting to stay and work or head out the door.

Unless you have a stake in the company you feel will pay off handsomely, then head out the door.
You family changes, and kids leave. Enjoy the short time you have.
Or, don't see you kids and make some company that doesn't care about you more money, and cry when Cat's in the Cradle plays on the radio. whatevs.

For me, its Friday...without a doubt. I teach at a college. On Fridays:
1. Students are out the door as soon as they finish classes. This results in Friday being the quietest day in my building as well as the least busy day for student consultations.
2. Many of my coworkers who have arranged a 4-day-work-week schedule are out (so less "problems" that I'm needed to fix or just less chit-chat)
3. I'm motivated. Its the last day to get things done before the weekend. I try to have everything wrapped up fo

Fridays (Score:2)
Because I can't sleep when I had too much coffee I sort of muddle on on most days. However on Saturday I can sleep in so falling asleep late on Friday isn't a problem. Thus on Fridays I can drink more coffee and there is so much that just becomes clear once I have enough coffee to really wake up. In effect I get about three times as much done on Friday.
If I were to have the wednesday off I could add another day of triple productivity. However I think my boss would interpret such a request quite differently.
