Great video! I think one of the biggest advantages of a 4 day work week is that it forces you to rewire your mindset. Running and growing a business long term is ideally a marathon and not a constant sprint. A youtube search for "I burned out" will give you boat loads of anecdotes. Restricting that work time really forces you to rethink your priorities. I've seen in my own work that when you restrict hours and don't redirect your priorities, it gets very stressful.

Great Video - my wife's hospital (lab in the hospital) changed their work schedule to 3 days with 12-hour shifts instead of 5 days with 8-hour shifts. They did it to make scheduling easier and many workers complained (and even quit) when it was implemented. Now my wife says she likes the schedule (4 days off) but she is unproductive for 3 of the 12 hours per day vs. being unproductive for only 1 hour of the 8 Hour workdays. With the very long 12-hour shifts - the workers take more breaks and longer breaks so the hospital may have an easier scheduling system but their employees are actually working less during their shifts. I'm pretty sure they did not take this variable into account. Plus, they are in a very competitive market and there is a serious fight for talent - they started out offering $3,000 referral bonuses - then it went to $7K and now it's at $10K for every new hire a worker refers. The employees argue that they should get paid more so they don't keep losing employees and keep having to hire and train new ones (other labs in the market do pay more). I find it pretty interesting.

I work 4 10-hour days and it's great. I took a pay cut to keep this schedule as it really is life-affirming.
