My company started a 4-day workweek last year. Here's how I stay on top of tasks and enjoy Fridays off.

During a traditional five-day work week, whether at my current company or a previous one, I often felt exhausted and started to experience burnout as I climbed up the ladder in my career. I attended more, longer meetings. I would push certain tasks off to Fridays, and by that time, I was totally done and impatiently waiting for 5pm to hit. The burnout and fatigue really started for me when I began working from home and felt like I needed to be available at all times.

Emtrain's leadership team and managers did a phenomenal job at guiding us through a four-day workweek, teaching us how to be more productive, advising everyone to have 25-minute meetings instead of 30 minutes, and simply opening their doors for any questions and feedback. As a data-driven company, they shared internal data with everyone on feedback, productivity ratings, and whether or not the four-day week impacted our clients — which it didn't.
