Take a Three-Day Weekend Without Losing Any Pay (with Juliet Schor)

This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed human. Pushkin. Do you ever feel like You don't have the time for all the things that you need to do in your daily life, let alone the space to do the fun stuff that might bring you joy.

Many of us have a whole host of responsibilities, dealing with errands, caring for children, helping out elderly parents, but most of us are also holding down a job on top of that. You might easily spend 40, 50, maybe even 60 hours a week at work. And then there's all the stuff that creeps in after hours. like emails from customers, clients, or your boss. Unfortunately, feeling completely overwhelmed by a packed schedule is not great for your well-being.

It can even feel like drowning. But what if I said I could give you back nearly a whole day every week and with no impact on your ability to pay your bills? Sounds amazing, right? Well that's the big idea from the author of one of my favorite new books. I'm Juliette Schor and I'm the author of Four Days a Week, a book on companies that are giving their employees four eight-hour days with no reduction in pay.
