4 or 5 day work week as a startup?

@rubenlozanome Yes - I also read the article, which is what prompted my question! In theory I'm for it, but I think it can be difficult when you're small (like us) and growing a company. Every minute really counts! I found it interesting that most of the companies that took part in UK's 4 day work week trial were small (66% had <25 employees). So maybe it's something we need to take a look at as an employee benefit as we're growing. Maybe there's a hybrid: an on-call day for mission critical items?

@brenna_c_curran I totally agree with you. I think it is complicated to find a balance because like you said, every minute counts. Startups is what it is. However, it might be a good way to understand if spend more hours means working more. I know some startups leave 40% of the time to employees to work on any project that they want, to dedicate the time whatever they think it is the best for them and the company and some companies are finding good outcomes by testing this. For me, I love what I do and it is easy to spend time "working". But I think it is important to focus on what you do every day. If we really focus on what really matters every day there is plenty time for everything. If we remove the time we spend on social media, or watching Netflix and use that time to go for a run, talk with your father, go for a walk, read a book, sleep 8 hours minimum, you name it... Interesting topic... We will see... :)
