Could a four-day working week become the norm? A hundred UK companies sign up to ‘transformative’ scheme with no loss of pay

And the main reason is that the amount of work we do is not actually linked to the amount of time we have. As my mum always tells me: “If you want something done, give it to a busy person.”

I worked the same hours each of the four days, and yet what I once thought was a five-day to-do list got completed every single week. I was more productive within these hours, more excited by my work – knowing that it wasn't taking the place of something else in my life because I had time to do it all.

All the resentment I felt around work dropped away. My personal to-do list, all the admin you need to do to keep life running behind the scenes, became shorter and more manageable than ever – and tasks no longer languished on it for months. And all this meant that when I made plans with friends and family, I could be genuinely present and in a good time.I had time for it all – and I was happier while doing it.

Yes, at times, I had to be flexible in order to attend a meeting on my “day off” and times where I felt guilt or pressure to take something on in my week, but is this any worse than pressures felt by full-timers? No. And at least I had the time around it to reset and recover.
