40 Hour Work Day

By Mark Shead 4 Comments

We’ve previously mentioned the benefits of working from home, but this won’t work for everyone.  An alternative is to only work one 40 hour shift each week.  So if you come in to work Monday at 7am and work until 11pm Tuesday night you will have worked just as much as your co-workers who come in for 8 hours 5 days a week..  The benefits are huge.  Just think, you could drive to work just one day per week.

If your boss seem reluctant to let you do this, just point out the benefits of being able to really focus in for a whole 40 hours instead of interrupting things every 8 hours to go home and come back.

    Totally doable with 40 work hours worth of caffeine.

    Just for the record this was an April Fools Day joke. I’m not seriously suggesting you try this. :)

    On a more serious note, there are some drugs on the market that are supposed to let you get by with 2 to 4 hours of sleep each day with “no side effects”. Some how that seems a little too good to be true.

    Mark it’s so obvious it’s a joke. I was just trying to play along :)
