Should the Week be Four Days Instead of Five
I believe that schools and workdays should be shortened to four days instead of five, since in the article it stated that it increased productivity about 40% percent. Which is beneficial for the workplace and even students in school, because they will be more motivated and focused on their work, since they get that extra day to rest and accomplish whatever they need to do. Some advantages would be that people will be well-rested and more focused on work or school. People’s lives wouldn’t be that stressful since they have that extra day to do whatever they want. A disadvantage would be that people would have to work extra long hours to make up that fifth day. Also over the years people might return back to their old ways and still not think that a 3 day weekend is enough, and people won’t be as well rested anymore. If we shortened the week into four days, I think that I would be more productive during the week since the weekend is much closer. I would also spend more time doing what I want outside of school, but also I would waste time and not be as productive on the weekends. In today’s society it’s mostly well set that you have to get good grades in order to go to a nice college and get a good paying job. I think most people believe it, until they actually experience going to college and finding out what they actually want to do in life. Once people are stable in life they will start to realize that what their past self thought mattered in life for the future , didn’t actually matter.
