[Study] Why the 8-hour workday just doesn’t make sense

A mass experiment in Iceland found that workers with four-day weeks became happier and healthier and got just as much done. This begs the question, are our 5-day 40 hour weeks as productive as we think they are? It looks like American workers are saying “no, no they’re not.”

According to a new study by BrewSmartly, 65% of respondents claim they have to find ways to “look busy” to fill up an 8-hour day.

Other highlights from the report include:

• 58% of Americans report doing less than 8 hours of “real work” per day.
• 44% of respondents admit to hiding in their office bathrooms to kill time
• 78% believe that remote worker take more breaks, but 70% believe remote workers are more productive
• 20% skip eating lunch entirely when working 8-hour days
• 43% of those that don’t take breaks claim they don’t because they have too much work to do
• 32% of respondents lied to their employers about being smokers so they could take extra breaks

Take a look at the full report that contains all of the above information and more.
