I got up this morning, looked at my list of #FourDayWorkWeek jobs to do outside …
And within 10 minutes the drizzle had started. On and off all day. I managed to swear at some jobs inside.

"Iceland’s economy is outperforming most European peers after the nationwide introduction of a shorter working week with no loss in pay, according to research released Friday.
[...]
Researchers found that productivity stayed the same or improved in most workplaces, while workers’ wellbeing increased “dramatically” on a range of measures, from perceived stress and burnout to health and work-life balance."

#Degrowth can work — here’s how science can help
Wealthy countries can create prosperity while using less materials and energy if they abandon #EconomicGrowth as an objective.
By Jason Hickel, Giorgos Kallis, Tim Jackson, Daniel W. O’Neill, Juliet B. Schor, Julia K. Steinberger, Peter A. Victor & Diana Ürge-Vorsatz, 12 December 2022
Excerpt: "The global economy is structured around growth — the idea that firms, industries and nations must increase production every year, regardless of whether it is needed. This dynamic is driving climate change and ecological breakdown. High-income economies, and the corporations and wealthy classes that dominate them, are mainly responsible for this problem and consume energy and materials at unsustainable rates.
"Yet many industrialized countries are now struggling to grow their economies, given economic convulsions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, resource scarcities and stagnating productivity improvements. Governments face a difficult situation. Their attempts to stimulate growth clash with objectives to improve human well-being and reduce environmental damage.
"GDP is getting a makeover — what it means for economies, health and the planet
"Researchers in ecological economics call for a different approach — degrowth. Wealthy economies should abandon growth of gross domestic product (#GDP) as a goal, scale down destructive and unnecessary forms of #production to reduce energy and material use, and focus economic activity around securing human needs and well-being. This approach, which has gained traction in recent years, can enable rapid #decarbonization and stop ecological breakdown while improving social outcomes. It frees up energy and materials for low- and middle-income countries in which growth might still be needed for development. Degrowth is a purposeful strategy to stabilize economies and achieve social and ecological goals, unlike recession, which is chaotic and socially destabilizing and occurs when growth-dependent economies fail to grow.
"Reports this year by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (#IPCC) and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on #Biodiversity and #Ecosystem Services (#IPBES) suggest that degrowth policies should be considered in the fight against #ClimateBreakdown and #biodiversity loss, respectively. Policies to support such a strategy include the following.
"Reduce less-necessary production. This means scaling down destructive sectors such as #FossilFuels, mass-produced meat and dairy, #FastFashion, #advertising, #cars and aviation, including #PrivateJets. At the same time, there is a need to end the #PlannedObsolescence of products, lengthen their lifespans and reduce the purchasing power of the #rich.
"Improve #PublicServices. It is necessary to ensure universal access to high-quality #HealthCare, #Education, #Housing, transportation, Internet, #RenewableEnergy and nutritious food. #UniversalPublicServices can deliver strong social outcomes without high levels of resource use.
"Introduce a green jobs guarantee. This would train and mobilize labour around urgent social and ecological objectives, such as installing renewables, insulating buildings, regenerating #ecosystems and improving social care. A programme of this type would end unemployment and ensure a just transition out of jobs for workers in declining industries or 'sunset sectors', such as those contingent on fossil fuels. It could be paired with a #UniversalIncome policy.
"Reduce working time. This could be achieved by lowering the retirement age, encouraging part-time working or adopting a four-day working week [and hybrid or remote work]. These measures would lower #CarbonEmissions and free people to engage in care and other welfare-improving activities. They would also stabilize employment as less-necessary production declines.
"Enable #sustainable development. This requires cancelling unfair and unpayable debts of low- and middle-income countries, curbing unequal exchange in international trade and creating conditions for productive capacity to be reoriented towards achieving social objectives.
"Some countries, regions and cities have already introduced elements of these policies. Many European nations guarantee free health care and education; Vienna and Singapore are renowned for high-quality public housing; and nearly 100 cities worldwide offer free public transport. Job guarantee schemes have been used by many nations in the past, and experiments with basic incomes and shorter working hours are under way in Finland, Sweden and New Zealand.
"But implementing a more comprehensive strategy of degrowth — in a safe and just way — faces five key research challenges, as we outline here."

Now that I’m winding down at the end of #FourDayWorkWeek i look out in the backyard and see the things I meant to do today but didn’t do because I didn’t write them on my list.
Dead fall will just have to amuse itself until the next time I get the mulcher out in 2026.

Had a tiny chuckle at the political meeting yesterday.
One bloke said, “I can’t find a job because of all the immigrants!”
Bloke next to him said, “I’m an immigrant. 20 years ago.”
First bloke took a moment and then said, “Me too. 25 years.” 😮
Aside from that his point was sound: he’d work if he could but nobody is hiring. The steps to prove this to unemployment are degrading and unreasonable. MSD need to stop making people cry.

Well I was preparing for a nice relaxing day off to do some gardening and pottering around and perhaps getting that #PlayStation Platinum trophy that has so far evaded me (difficulty 3/10 according to the guide) but I’ve spotted the end of a gigantic crack in the car’s windscreen which means now I get to spend my day organising a replacement.

I was going to write something on my website. I grabbed a copy of the site from my backups to begin editing. Thought I’d check what was on the web server and compare. Oh no they’ve diverged.
Not particularly in the mood to handle merge conflicts on my day off.
You’ll just have to put up with a delay in reading my genius thoughts.

Pretty good day today. Did some work in the garden. Made a lemon posset with my daughter. Got a haircut with my son.
Nice and relaxed. #FourDayWorkWeek

That is interesting!
There’s the counter example of the French Revolution Decimal Week where it was 10 days long and supposedly didn’t work very well so they went back to 7.
Follow up question: how many of those days were for “working” and how many were non-working? (eg weekday vs weekend)

I expected to kick off the #FourDayWorkWeek with a very crisp frost followed by some gardening but the persistent rain is preventing that.
I guess instead I can figure out why SteamLink is giving me a black screen?

Or the #FourDayWorkWeek is becoming more popular!

"To make it work, [Microsoft Japan] mandated that no meetings could go longer than 30 minutes. It also told managers to avoid unnecessary meetings and use face-to-face chats instead. Its widely reported results were striking: Productivity increased by 40% over the trial period, while time off fell by 25%."

If the most diligent of developed nations - #Germany and #Japan - are seriously testing the feasibility of a shorter #fourdayworkweek, imho, there is hope yet for humanity. A shorter but still productive and #efficient #workweek could help solve problems such as: declining #procreation and #ageing societies, workforce #sustainability, healthier family lives and marriages, youth mental health crises, etc. #worklifebalance #work

Let's just ensure that if the 4-day week becomes standard, everybody gets a 20% raise so that their weekly pay stays the same. And also the minimum wage needs to increase by 20% for the same reason.

Continuing my adventures with wooly sheep dags …
there are a few tiny plants pushing through. Bitter cress (#Cardamine) which would have been in the sand and lime chips I put on top of the dags.
The plants we want are poking through, mostly in their appointed places but one has got a wooly blanket for some reason.
