I work 4 days a week (started because of a medical condition) and I think more people should do that. I even think that in those 4 days i get as much done as most others in 5 days because I can focus better, and sometimes when I feel like working in the non-work day I work a few hours for fun and interest.
- manmal 7mo agoI‘m a big fan of the four day workweek idea, but let’s not kid ourselves. 5 days are 5 days. I work 10h days usually and I just wouldn’t be able to fit all that work into 4 days.
- teamonkey 7mo agoThat’s because you actually work 6 days a week.
- manmal 7mo agoYeah but what's the argument?
- Henchman21 7mo agoPerhaps you should split the load with another human?
- manmal 7mo agoThat's out of my control.
- array_key_first 7mo agoI don't think human production is linear. There's definitely an optimal point, and it probably varies from person to person. I think, actually, past that point your productivity declines rapidly. I would not be surprised at all if working 70 hours a week yields more productivity than 80, which yields more than 100.
