For those that had Juneteenth off this week: Did any work actually get done when you had to log back on on Friday?

I worked but it was dead quiet. Kind of nice to have some time to focus without distractions if I'm being honest.

I got some work done that I had been putting off because like you it was dead. It was nice because I was able to zone in starting at 9 and was done with everything by lunch time.

My Friday was extremely unproductive ha. I think this is why it's rare to have a mid-week holiday.. because everyone knows the rest of the week is shot once you've had a taste of holiday freedom. I'd be most people weren't super productive yesterday.

I'd bet*** most people weren't productive

It was one of my most productive days in a long time! I was able to work on something that required about four hours of deep focus and quiet - something I had been putting off because normally finding time for that is impossible.

Mine was unfortunately not as productive as I would’ve liked. It was nice to get some focus time in but I was struggling to pay attention lol
