It may seem counterintuitive in the world of endless hustle, but let me share a story.
A while ago, I took a leap.
I switched my team and myself to a 4-day working week.
Yes, you read it right.
I was apprehensive at first like you probably are reading this.
But guess what?
It has done wonders.
Before the change, stress was our permanent companion.
Productivity, creativity, morale – everything was in a downward spiral.
The idea of grinding more to get more seemed to lose its charm.
There had to be a better way.
And there was.
Taking that extra day off not only refreshed us but also boosted our morale, creativity, and – believe it or not – productivity.
Everyone was less stressed, and guess what, happier at work.
Imagine starting each workday with a fresh mind and an eager heart, no longer looking at the workweek with dread, but with anticipation.
That’s what happened to us.
We’ve been sold this lie that our worth is somehow linked to our output or achievements, that we have to be as productive as possible to justify our existence.
But life isn’t about churning out work like a machine.
It’s about living, experiencing, and enjoying – while still achieving our goals and making a positive impact.
So here’s my question to you.
Have you considered making a similar shift in your business?
What’s one change you could make this week to foster a healthier, happier work environment?
