As a kid, one of the biggest benefits of technology I heard was freeing up our time from mundane labor. But with our phones making us available almost 24/7 it seems the joke is on us.

A three hour work day is something I could get behind 100%.

To me 3 hours isnt enough, i need at least an hour to warm up before jumping into the zone. Im thinking what would work out for me: 4 hour work days with the ability to squeeze 2 days in one and being able to do 2.5 days of 8 hours a week, no more no less. I’d be as productive as I am now, maybe even more. During the time off I’d still have work ideas popping up in my mind while doing things like being with family, playing with my kid, etc.. Currently thats what i do in terms of productivity but the dead time is spent sitting in a chair in an office 1.5 hour away from home.

6-8h a day is fine by me, just not 5 days a week and/or on a rigid schedule.
