It seems like this experiment is primarily measuring the productivity of knowledge workers, which is a notoriously tricky thing to pin down. Obviously, the work doesn't take more than twenty percent less time - folks are staying on task and cutting unneeded meetings and hoping the experiment is a success so they can go on with a permanent three day weekend. Where else can we try this? Gas stations? Hospitals? Schools? Will students learn faster or remember longer? I would think comparing courseloads for freshmen could give us some insight here, because there's something to the idea that fitting the time to the task would bring clarity to the sufferers of boreout.
