The first step in innovating your workplace.

In 2007 Timothy Ferriss wrote “The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9–5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich.” For me it’s an A+ book, because it showed me 1) new possibilities for life, and 2) a path to get there. Post-Covid, there is now a bigger push for a 4-day workweek. Perhaps not quite as enticing as 4-hour, but a study shows that still 92% of workers prefer 4x10 to 5x8. @AdamGrant has written about a study of the 4-day workweek.

But slightly even more than that, this study showed that slightly more workers want freedom to set their own hours, than even prefer a 4-day week. Which in many ways brings us back to the Ferriss 4HWW book! Freedom of time and place.

How can you not only increase your team’s productivity, but also the sense of adventure and curiosity that your people want to have, so that they can show others their artistry and become more visible? You need to innovate your workplace, and yes it can be done. Step #1, which I see over and over, is to COMMIT.
