Microsoft's special report, "Breaking down the infinite workday," examines the phenomenon of never-ending workdays for remote and hybrid workers. The report reveals insights from an analysis of Microsoft 365 product usage, indicating that many professionals begin their days early, often around 6 a.m., by checking emails. Despite slight declines in one-to-one communications, mass emails and Teams messages are on the rise, contributing to a perception of an unending work cycle. This lack of boundaries raises concerns about productivity and the sustainability of the modern work environment.
The workday often begins at 6 a.m., with 40% of professionals reviewing emails to prepare for the day, revealing the early start of the infinite workday.
Microsoft's analysis shows that the average worker receives about 117 emails each day and 154 Teams messages, indicating a significant digital communication overload.
