The Four Day Work Week Experiment: Tips and Lessons Learned (TPS382‪)‬ The Productivity Show

Today’s episode is going to be a bit different.



From time to time we do episodes about how we do things at AE, for two reasons:



1: Going back to the early days of the blog in 2011 and the podcast in 2015, we get a LOT of questions about behind the scenes aspects of running AE



2: We are always doing experiments to try to improve the company, be more productive, and have happier team members



You know what they say – “Happy people are productive people”; so we'd like to share what we learn from these experiments with you



A few summers ago we did an experiment: what if we ran the company at just 4 days a week throughout the whole summer?



We had a vote and… SURPRISE… The team voted yes. 😂



We’ve done it a few times since, and are midway through another run at it, doing it during December for the first time.



If you’ve ever thought about trying a 4-day work week, we’ll share our lessons and insights with you that can help you decide if it’s right for you.



Perhaps you already do a 4-day work week and want more tips to make it more effective, we got you covered too.
