I genuinely believe a 4 day workweek with 5 to 6 hour days would change society for the better. People would be less stressed, spend more time with family and friends, and actually have the energy to enjoy life instead of just recovering from work. We'd probably end up healthier and happier because of it.
I don’t hate working, but I hate the concept of working 7_8 hours a day and then going home to only about 5 hours to yourself, which includes catching the bus, cooking, and getting ready for the next day. This is not life.
Genuinely believe the 8+ hour workday is outdated. Give people time to live, be with loved ones, chase hobbies, and actually rest. That’s where real fulfillment lives.
Remote work changed my life MORE than my salary did.
The money matters, obviously.
But the real flex is no commute, quiet mornings, midday walks, dinner plans after work, and still having energy to build a life outside my job.
Your job is important but, so are your workouts, your lunch breaks, vacation days, hobbies, the people waiting for you when you get home.
Works pays for your life. It isn't supposed to replace it.
Working 8–9 hours a day and then going home to about 3-4 hours to yourself, which includes getting ready for the next day, is not living, to be very honest.
