Think about — A 3-day weekend. Each weekend. Endlessly.
-Outcomes Beneath-
Run Free, Dream Chaser
Imagine working 32 extremely productive hours over 4 days. A alternative for the same old 5-day, 40-hour workweek mannequin. You clock in for 8 hours, work 4 days, and retain the pay for the total 5.
And that lovely, coveted, magical day referred to as Friday is yours.
No catch, no trade-off, no diminished outputs, no compromise, no change in advantages or pay, and no abuse from beneath or above. It sounds farfetched, utopian nearly. A world through which machines and their gears coexist harmoniously; the machines run easily creating what they create and the mechanisms inside are oiled, tuned, cared for, and repaired.
You possibly can sleep in, you may go tenting, you may go on a date, you may plan a household escape open air or a household dawdle between sofa cushions, mushy flooring, and heaps of blankets. You can atone for laundry, end that undertaking you began 8 months in the past, or you can do nothing in any respect.
The ONLY requirement is to finish your full workload, 100% of your duties, with the identical promptness, high quality, and engagement through the lowered 80% window.
What do you suppose? Doable? Can you discover the time, the main target, the vitality?
Seems, it’s not that massive a deal. In trade for that further break day, the 89% of staff who wasted time at work, on account of their ineptitude or due to damaged programs (extra emails, conferences, pending approvals, bottlenecked features, and many others.), wanted solely to focus a tiny bit extra.
Is This a New Thought?
Nope. The thought was first floored by US-president Richard Nixon in 1965 with the first resolve of bettering the lives of American households. Sadly, that’s about the place it ended. The US, for all its gloating, is a spot devoted to corporate-ism, faux loyalty, and generations of bragging rights for many who can work themselves to dying.
The latter is a degree of delight; stoic, blind, 1% benefiting delight.
