206: Why To Consider a 4 Day Work Week

Traveling or engaging in other activities outside of work is always great. But trying to fit in a full week of work in a three- to four-day period to accommodate these activities can be stressful if not approached correctly. Instead of feeling anxious about getting everything done, I've found it's best to re-prioritize work and focus on the essentials. In this episode of the Working Without Pants podcast, I share my journey of how I've come to love a three- to four-day workweek while still being able to accomplish everything I need to. My first tip if you're feeling overwhelmed while trying to manage work with play is to take a step back and ask yourself, "What happens if I don't get XYZ tasks done this week?" What you'll find is that many of the things you're stressing about can be pushed back without any consequences. Making this paradigm shift isn't about making an excuse to be lazy, but rather it's about supporting your mental health while being fully engaged on the days you are working. Minimizing your workweek can actually bring about more productivity on the tasks that really matter and allow you more freedom to pursue your interests outside of work.
