productivity – NOT YOUR DOC

IS A 4-DAY WORK WEEK BETTER FOR MENTAL HEALTH THAN THE 5-DAY WORK WEEK? WHAT ABOUT THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF A 3-DAY WORK WEEK, OR A 2-DAY WORK WEEK? PART OF THE PROBLEM IS THAT GETTING BACK INTO A TRULY PRODUCTIVE WORK MODE TAKES SOME REORIENTATION, EFFORT, FOCUS, AND TIME. IT’S LIKE STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC… IT TAKES QUITE A BIT OF ENERGY TO BOTH SLOW DOWN THE MOMENTUM, AND THEN GET BACK UP TO SPEED.

Do most jobs or projects really require an 8-hour work day (or really, when taking into account breaks and lunch time, a 7.5 hour or 7 hour workday)? Charles Tadros, M.D. August 16, 2022 Saint Louis, Missouri

TO OBTAIN A DEGREE, CERTIFICATION, LICENSE,OR EXPERIENCE IS DIFFICULT. TO PERFORM THE ROUTINE AND REPETITIVE, DAY-TO-DAY TASKS, IN ORDER TO MAKE A LIVING, IS SIGNIFICANTLY EASIER.
