🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:

Last month, the council was told it faced a deficit of $3.9m, mainly due to a correction to its user-pay refuse sticker revenue budget - basically, it wrongly estimated how much money it would take in from sales of council rubbish stickers.
