- 0:00 Hey y'all.
- 0:02 Have you ever felt burnt out after a long week of work and next thing you know you have to go back to work?
- 0:07 It's already Sunday night and you're just laying in bed and you don't want to get up the next morning.
- 0:11 What if there was a way to get rid of the burnout from the traditional five-day, 40-hour work week that's been here forever?
- 0:20 It's too old, it's outdated, and there's a fix for it.
- 0:24 What if we could get all of our work done in four days, have a three-day weekend, and still be just as productive?
- 0:31 And that's the idea.
- 0:32 The four-day work week.
- 0:33 The model's simple.
- 0:34 It's called the 180-100 model.
- 0:37 You get 100% wages for 80% of the work in exchange for delivering 100% of the results.
- 0:44 And this study was actually done in the UK, and the evidence is amazing.
- 0:48 After a six month trial, 92% of the companies decided to make the four-day work week permanent because resignations dropped by 57%, and 71% of employees said they had lower levels of burnout.
- 1:01 But the most amazing part of this study is revenue actually increased by an average of 35% during the trial.
- 1:07 By cutting out waste of time and focusing on what really matters, companies became even more successful.
- 1:14 So the evidence is clear.
- 1:15 A shorter work week doesn't just reduce burnout.
- 1:18 It can create a more motivated, efficient, and loyal workforce.
- 1:21 It's a change that could redefine the way businesses run today.
