Infinite workday
The infinite workday is a work pattern where working time encompasses hours beyond the traditional workweek and weekend.[1]
The infinite workday blurs boundaries between personal and work time leading to a continuous cycle of work-related activities. This phenomenon is attributed to the rise of remote work, flexible work arrangements, improved tooling that enables employees to stay connected with web conferencing, and hustle culture.[1][2][3] The inifinite workday may negatively impact work-life balance.[4]
Types
[edit | edit source]Non-linear workday
[edit | edit source]A non-linear workday is a work pattern where working time encompasses multiple time blocks, rather than a straight block of time.[5] Non-linear workdays may improve employee productivity if they coincide with staff energy levels.[6] Non-linear workdays coincide with hybrid and remote-working patterns.[7]
Microshifting
[edit | edit source]Microshifting is a work model where a day is broken into smaller, flexible blocks of time called "micro-shifts" allowing for a more dynamic schedule. Instead of a continuous eight-hour day, employees work in blocks throughout the day.[8][9][10][11][12]
Triple peak day
[edit | edit source]The triple peak day refers to a work pattern with three peaks of productivity: before lunch, after lunch, and before bed.[13][14][15] The third peak may add several hours of productivity per day.[16] The triple peak day came to prominence following the COVID-19 pandemic.[17]
