I believe it is possible to organise one’s working time better so that work can be done in less time and produce the same results. Today’s digital technologies make it possible in many cases to perform formerly tedious tasks much quicker. And so, for example, a text that used to be written by hand can today be dictated and typed. Of course, this requires appropriate tools. It is also important to master the technique of selectivity – knowing when and what to do and divide your work in a logical schedule. This will certainly help with the proper organisation of working time. Another important thing is setting aside some time for rest, so that the greater efficiency of the work performed does not bring about risks for your health and well‑being, especially if your job tends to be stressful or soul‑crushing.

Work till you drop?! Not necessarily…
The issue of appropriate working time has long been a worldwide discussion. How long should we work to maintain well‑being and still be productive workers?
It is a common rule that an average employee works 6‑8 hours a day, which makes 40 hours a week. Obviously, if we follow a healthy lifestyle and share duties with friendly co‑workers, we will be effective and productive. And if we do not do that, we are prone to be tired and inefficient workers. Unfortunately, there are people for whom working in the eight‑hour system seems too difficult or requires too much physical effort, such as the elderly or women bringing up children.
Limiting working time to 4 hours per week can be considered from the point of view of effective working time, or change of the production process. This may mean that labour costs will be reduced as the same results will be achieved in a shorter time. I suppose this system will allow more flexibility and employees will be given a chance to complete their tasks in the most convenient time for them. Moreover, they should be paid the same for their work.
All in all, as far as we are used to working 8 hours a day, it is still unclear what impact the 4‑hour working week would have on the employees’ wellbeing, and whether they would be forced to work more, which may prove detrimental to their health.
