Why do we feel mentally checked out on Fridays, and how can we stay productive?

It’s not just in your head—science confirms that cognitive fatigue peaks by Friday. According to research like Roy Baumeister’s ego depletion theory, our willpower runs low after a full week of decisions and self-control. That’s why zoning out, procrastinating, and dragging your feet through to-do lists is common. But the good news? Experts recommend science-backed hacks—like microbreaks, task batching, and strategic caffeine—to help you push through and end the week strong.
