Today we started a 4 Day Work Week pilot program at Mosio. It's something I've wanted to try for awhile now and we finally have the team, the traction and the systems in place to make it a success. This move is very personal to me. I had a dark, horrible year in 2013, in the middle of difficult, but necessary changes at the company, and the death of my grandmother (Papa), my biggest entrepreneurial inspiration. For 5+ months I was working 60-70 hour weeks. Stressed, depressed, but chugging along, hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel. I would work a full day, dinner with the family, kid in bed and then back to work until 1-2am, off to sleep/worry, only to do it again the next day with a baby on the way. At one point I told my wife "I would never do anything to hurt myself, but right now I don't care if I live or die." Seriously heavy shit. I kept telling myself "right the ship, then make the change", that got me through it. I know that many people in the world are literally working themselves sick. Chronic stress is linked to the 6 leading causes of death. 18% of US workers work 60 hours per week, some are barely making ends meet. I feel privileged we are able to offer this extra day per week to our team, our families and ourselves. If you're interested, here's my presentation, the final slide has links to references we researched in making the move. Noel CEO, Mosio, Inc. @noelchandler
