在家工作最好的日子是哪一天?

混合工作时间表——你工作的地方 办公室办公和远程办公的结合 ——越来越受欢迎. Thousands of companies shifted to supporting a remote workforce, and many of these employers are continuing to do so post-pandemic in some capacity. However, how these hybrid working schedules will be structured is a mystery to most. Some employers are designating which days their staff can 亲密, while others have the flexibility to choose their schedules. So, what’s the best day to 居家办公 without raising any red flags with your employers?

星期一和星期五

对于大多数雇主, the beginning and the very end of the week are a no-go, 这对很多人来说并不奇怪. 这些 天是禁止 对于大多数雇主, and if you have the opportunity to choose your days off, you’re better off choosing one of the other three days in a workweek. 不幸的是, the automatic thought 对于大多数雇主 about working from home on 星期一和星期五 is you are either extending your weekend or trying to coast into the next one. 这显然是 不正确的 for many works, but this is the perception that it can create choosing one of these days.

You can argue that you can start or end the week on a strong note by working from home on one of these days. You wouldn’t have to commute and sit in traffic and can get right to work. However, there are better days to 居家办公 in most situations.

周二和周四

周二和周四 are better options for most. Working from home on one of these days offers a nice break into the workweek. Before the pandemic, I worked remotely every Tuesday and Thursday. It provided a nice flow to the week: one day in the office, 在家的一天, 一天回到办公室, 在家的一天, 再在办公室待一天. 这给了我一个很好的平衡. 也, it allowed me to plan specific tasks that were more suitable for the office environment (meetings, 协作, 等.) and other activities that were more appropriate to my home “office.”

However, you may only get the opportunity to work one day from home. In that case, 远程工作 on a Tuesday or a Thursday may not be ideal. It may feel like your time is chopped up if you 居家办公 only after one day at the office and then three more days straight in the office from Wednesday through Friday. 周四也是如此. It may be challenging to 居家办公 on a Thursday and then have to return to the office on Friday to finish out the week.

周三是最好的亲密日

That leaves us with Wednesday, which is probably the best 亲密 day you can choose. Choosing to 居家办公 in the middle of the workweek may seem odd, but it provides an excellent balance and flow to your work schedule. 在办公室待两天, 一天高效的远程工作, and two more days in the office to finish out the week. 

This splits up the workweek symmetrically and can allow you to really schedule out your entire week. You can start the work week with two collaborative days in the office and tackle any important meetings at the beginning of your week. 然后, you have an entire day to grind out some tasks and other work activities that require more concentration and solitude. 最后, you end the week strong with two more collaborative days at the office where you can wrap up any tasks or meetings before the weekend arrives. +, by scheduling your 居家办公 day in the middle of the week, you avoid and superstitions about you trying to extend your weekend with remote work on Mondays or Fridays.

Ultimately, the day that works best for you depends

As a general consensus, the best day to 居家办公 is a Wednesday. 但情况并非总是如此. Everyone has a different working situation and a remote day that works best for you clearly depends on your lifestyle, 你所在的行业, 以及你在公司中扮演的角色. If the best day to 居家办公 is on any other day, it may not be a dealbreaker. So, if your employer has strict guidelines about your 居家办公 policy, 向你的经理表达你的担忧. If they don’t understand your situation and why a certain day remote might work better than another, 他们很难支持你.

不管哪一天对你最合适, the bottom line is transparency and open communication with your employer go a long way. In most cases, they will understand your situation and may offer you some flexibility. After all, we all had to be a little bit more flexible over the last 18+ months.
