SHORTER WORK DAYS
ARE ON THE WAY
How many hours of actual work do you do during
that 8-9 hour work day? Do you work non-stop for 8
hours (aside for lunch)? Be honest. In most cases,
people actually work 3-4 hours out of their 8-hour
work day during the regular schedules. There are
exceptions: when deadlines are due, projects are
coming, etc., but that does not happen throughout
the year for most workers who work regular 9-5s.
Rest of the time, they are…
 checking their phones
 chatting with colleagues
 planning out their
activities
 dragging out their actual
work
Why?
 due to the fact that companies
have policies and rules that
everyone must be in attendance
during the working hours
 even if they have no work to do or
they have completed their
tasks/goals.
As an employee…
 you are not as motivated to get your
work done in those 3-4 hours
because you know you actually have
8 hours to complete your tasks for
the day.
 You drag out your time with other
time wasting activities
 You had or have jobs where this
happens.
I believe this sort of set up also creates
a society of procrastinators and people
lacking motivation, among other issues.
 Companies like Google and Facebook, are moving into a different kind
of work approach.
 As long as the work is done and there are results, employees can have
flexible schedules and they can also choose to work from home
office/remote location.
 Below, I want to share a great article which provides some great input
about benefits of shorter working hours and remembering to live your
life!
