When do you feel most productive at work? For many workers, it’s the morning. However, there is one time of day when employees make the most mistakes. A CNBC research study finds employees are less productive and less accurate in the afternoon.

For the study, researchers with Texas A&M University tracked almost 800 office-based workers for two years. Instead of relying on self-evaluations or manager feedback, study authors analyzed computer usage metrics including typing speed, mouse activity and typing errors.

  • They found afternoons are when the most typing mistakes are made.
  • Friday afternoons are specifically bad, that’s when they saw an increase in typos and a decrease in computer activity.

“We found that computer use increased during the week, then dropped significantly on Fridays,” explains study co-author Taehyun Roh. “This aligns with similar findings that the number of tasks workers complete increases steadily from Monday through Wednesday, then decreases on Thursday and Friday.”

Don't come back to work after lunch hahaha! Then you as employees can't make mistakes!

The World’s Top Dream Jobs

Hopefully you're not sitting at work HATING what you do, but not all of us get to work out our dream job. Life just doesn't work out like that. Many of us are okay just working our 9 to 5's and going home to live our lives from 5 to 9.

I could list a few "dream jobs": actor, influence, travel photographer. Well a new survey revealed what most people in the world consider to be the biggest dream job, and the answer may surprise you.

Here are the dreamiest jobs, according to a survey by Remitly! 

10.) Teacher

Teachers in North Carolina have to deal with low pay and a lot of other problems, but around the world, it is still considered to be a dream job for most.

9.) Singer

Being a singer used to be my dream job, and it seems to be a lot of others too!

8.) Programmer

They didn't go into detail about what kind of programming, but it did make the list!

7.) Influencer

I would venture to guess this would be the answer for all of Gen Z if you were to ask them about their dream job.

6.) Actor

Actor is probably one of the dream jobs you could have guessed!

5.) Entrepreneur

What could be better than being your own boss?

4.)YouTuber

Turns out, most people would be okay filming their life on the daily.

3.) Dancer

If I could only dance, I would agree with this one.

2.) Writer

This is one of the only ones on the list I would have to disagree with, but I've never been too good at writing.

1.) Pilot

There you have it! The most dreamy job is a pilot!
