It’s a funny world. We created a business culture that makes overwork & stress into badges of honor. You can reap the benefits of sanity, health, & productivity if you take breaks from work. How to do it is the question. There’s a natural rhythm to productive & sustainable human activity. 'The brain operates optimally when it toggles between focus & unfocus, allowing you to develop resistance, enhance creativity, & make better decisions too.”


The country of Iceland has released the analysis of its 4-day work week experiment & the results speak for themselves. The trials took place from 2015-19 & included about 1% of Iceland's working population, making it the world's largest shortened workweek trial to date. The findings show that paying people the same amount to work fewer hours per week results in a happier, healthier workforce with similar or increased productivity. Who knew?
