Reporter Community News

Every month, the Bubble Busters Adventure Club gathers at Waitangi Park and dives the waters between Taranaki Wharf and Chaffers Marina, collecting trash from the seabed.
The Welington City Council reports that during 2020, the group collected more than 1000 aluminium cans, 500 plastic items (including food packaging and eating utensils), 64 glass bottles and jars, and six chairs and tables.

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

🪱🐦 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:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
