Is A Four Day Work Week The Key To Better Productivity?
A new study shows that a shorter, four day work week may be exactly what you need to be more productive.
For many years we’ve been catching up with new studies that reveal working fewer hours is actually better for everyone. Not just the individual workers, but businesses that employ them, and communities too.
Now the data suggests that not only is working fewer hours more beneficial, but so is working fewer days.
This new study covered by Bloomberg reports that the four day work week could be the recipe to avoid burnout and boost productivity.
Avoiding Burnout
While many dismiss the importance of this, it is far more impactful on your health, business, relationships, and finances than you think. The time to address it is not once you hit it or see the negative impacts. The goal is to avoid it in the first place.
A four day work week can reportedly improve sleep and help avoid burnout. This means you can continue to love your work, do your best work, make better decisions, and enjoy a better life. Forget ‘work life balance’, it's just life.
Boosting Productivity
This part may be far more attractive to the workaholics reading this.
Being more rested and energized to work during these fewer days can certainly drive you to work harder and better when you are working.
It also forces you to find ways to be more productive and get better results in less time.
It’s For Your Teams Too
Don’t forget, if it is good for you, it is also good for your team members.
There is no use in you only working four days, but making your employees work seven. You won’t get the results.
The CEO of Randstad says that it is imperative for businesses to have flexibility today.
How To Do It
Find the four days that work for you. Perhaps that is avoiding those dreaded Mondays altogether and skipping right to Tuesday. Or it might be eliminating Fridays as little gets done after lunch time anyway. Or you might break up your work week and take Wednesdays off.
Experiment with it, and find your rhythm.
What To Do For The Other Three Days A Week
This might be the most difficult for some. You should absolutely take one full day of rest. You may use another to learn and improve your skills, focus on making other investments, or work on your hobbies. You can travel to expand your mind and check out new real estate markets. Or you can even teach others how to do what you do, and volunteer your time to good causes.

"....a few months back, I happened upon a video, on your site, regarding the use of transactional funding with Hud properties; and I found myself replaying the video over and over because of the value that I saw in the message...it actually explained the process, step-by-step on how to submit a Hud deal by using transactional funding. Once I completed the video, my initial response was to take immediate action by duplicating what I had learned from the video into real time. So I did some research on properties in a market where I knew I had buyers; and put together a hud deal. I then located a realtor able and willing to submit my bid online and within a couple of days, to my surprise, received a call telling me that I had won – my very 1st Hud bid."
