Sick of round-the-clock work emails and Slack messages? Here’s some hope.
"This is why I am heartened to see stories like that of Mr. Rheingans’s short workday and, as was reported this week, Microsoft Japan’s experiments
with a four-day week during the summer (which increased its
productivity by 40 percent, according to the company). It’s not yet
clear that these innovations are exactly the right way to run technology
companies, or whether they can scale to other business contexts. But
what is right in this case is the exploratory mind-set that led to these
experiments in the first place. If like many digital knowledge workers,
you’re exhausted by endless work and flooded inboxes, the good news is
that better and more sustainable ways of producing valuable output with
your brain might be coming — if we can find enough visionaries willing
to try out “radical” new ideas about how best to get things done."
