The 4 hour working day?
Posted on 28. May, 2009 by Mike Georgeson in Enterprise, Hints and Tips
Just reading an interesting article about the possibility of a having a 4 hour working day. Now, I don’t know about you but I think that is both impractical and not very welcome.
I like to work long hours, I like to spend time with my family, I like to do sports, I like to socialise but I can already do all that without thinking that I should be working less. Sure, time is a precious commodity – we can’t take it with us, we can’t make any more of it, we just have to spend it wisely (Who said time was money?) but surely as a Nation we should be advocating people spend more productive hours working effectively rather than trying to do more in less time.
Having said that, I do agree with a lot of the comments made in the article, especially around productivity and goal setting. Spending a lot of my time online, I use RescueTime to measure my usage which works well for me and allows me to track my online activities.
