When you don’t have a good work/life balance, you can begin to lose your identity outside of work. Joe Ryle discovered this during his work with the Labour Party, and it was partly this realisation that fuels his work today.
Joe Ryle is the Director of the 4 Day Week Campaign. He believes that a four-day working week provides positive benefits to society, wellbeing, and people’s mental health. And contrary to what many believe, it boosts productivity, rather than hindering it.
Takeaways from Dan and Pia
- There is a degree of privilege that should be acknowledged. Not everyone can afford to work a four-day week.
- We need to break the mould of “x number of hours = y amount of productivity”.
- The four-day week is a blunt instrument that can help us think less rigidly and more flexibly about how we use our time.
