  10. 100 years of servitude: ​This year marks the 100th anniversary of the official invention of the weekend. In May 1926, Ford Motor Co reduced the working week from six to five days because it was more efficient.

    "Three day weekends are excellent and I think we should have more of them. I am far from alone.

    A trial across multiple countries found a four-day work week reduces burnout. The World Economic Forum found four-day work weeks to be good in 2022. There’s also groups that run training courses on how to move your company to a four-day work week and they have a bunch of research also.

    Since we’re all about data-driven decision making these days, I guess we’re all moving to adopt four-day work weeks as fast as we can, right? Given all the benefits and the research showing it’s a good thing to do? No?

    Apparently it takes around 20 years for research to fight its way out of the dry prose of academic journals and into the wider populace.

    A four-day work weeks seems weird only because we’re used to five, but there’s nothing natural about a two-day weekend. It’s remarkable how quickly people adjust to sudden changes in timekeeping, after all. Weeks aren’t real in the way that days are, and yet we make weird and arbitrary changes to how long a day is all the time and call it #daylightsaving.

    Maybe we could start calling #fourdayweeks#weekend saving” and start doing it for six months at a time to get people used to the idea. Once the people closer to the equator figure out what to do with their curtains and cows for half a year, we could suggest that this changing of the week twice a year is silly and we should just move to a permanent four day work week.

    Then we can move on to the next goal: the three day work week.

    Who’s with me?"

  25. Last November I saw the documentary "System update - Rebooting Our #Future" at the Films for future festival in #Zurich - it was very interesting! 💡 😃

    You can watch the documentary for free at youtube.com/watch?v=Ub5I_x8impk

    A majority of people are for climate action www.peoplesclimate.vote We need to communicate that to politicians 📣, so that they make stronger policies to combat climate change.

    Solutions? #degrowth , shorter working week ( #4dayweek ), citizens assemblies, Climate Job Guarantee.

  30. Norwegian-Swedish study confirms a shorter work week improves quality of life, overall well-being, health (less sick leave) but also productivity.

    Not something the German chancellor would like to hear. He wouldn’t want to make his rich fellows richer if us workers don’t get our fair share of suffering along with it.
