For those who work a standard eight-hour work week:  Could you imagine if by the end of Tuesday…you would be halfway through your work week?

A lot a time has passed since the Fair Labor Standards Act in 1937 made Friday the BEST DAY EVER….a Monday A LIVING HELL.  Economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that by 2030 we would have enough technology to cut it down to 15 hours a week.  I don’t remember much from my Economics 101 days…but I vaguely remember that name.  Therefore, genius idea Johnny!

So why go through with it?  Well…a doctor in the UK advocated for a four-day work week to cut down on stress, thereby lowering blood pressure and slew of other health concerns.  This guy (Basecamp founded and Chicago entrepreneur John Fried) says a 32-hour work week promotes better focus and productivity.  Even Utah is finding success with this idea, albeit with cramming 40 hours into a shorter time frame.

So, here’s a one last bit of evidence to help us build our idea case…which is dropping a full day of work from our plates.

Let’s revolt!  (I mean…nicely ask our bosses to reconsider how business gets done.)  — [eric]
