How to make every weekend a three-day weekend
Comments(4) Everyone hates Monday unless it’s a holiday, right? Who doesn’t complain that there aren’t enough hours in a day to get everything done? Our busy 21st-century lives have evolved, but the quantums of time in which we live haven’t evolved with us. According to worldwide studies on labor, we Americans work more hours anually than any other nation in the world. People put in 50, 60, 70 and sometimes 80 hours per week in this country despite only getting paid for 40, and take fewer days off than any other industrialized nation (only 13 per year). It must make early-20th century fighters for fair labor practices turn in their graves. Many people now work at least one day on the weekend anyway. Employers are all too happy to accept this type-A behavior, but the truth is we all need more time. We can’t put more time in a day, but what if we could put more time in the week? Wouldn’t it be great if all our weekends were three-day weekends? We’d have more time to spend with our family and friends, or “get things done” as your needs dictate.
But how can we do all this, put in a regular work week, and still have three days off?
