Listen "Is the 40-Hour Work Week Outdated?"
Episode Synopsis
The 40-hour work week has been the standard for decades — but does it actually make sense anymore? In this episode, we’re breaking down why the traditional work model feels harder than ever to sustain.We talk about how work has shifted from manufacturing-based jobs to service and information roles, how technology has blurred the line between work and rest, and why productivity doesn’t always match hours worked. We also look at how other countries are experimenting with four-day work weeks and flexible schedules — and what those changes say about the future of work.This episode isn’t about avoiding work — it’s about rethinking how we define productivity, balance, and a life that actually leaves room to live.Brands we recommend:Find The Good Brand - use the link below to shop their products. https://findthegoodbrand.com/?ref=adulthoodUse coupon code “ADULTHOOD10” at check out to receive 10% OFFWant to launch your own podcast or grow the one you have?
