Non quam nostram quidem, inquit Pomponius iocans; De ingenio eius in his disputationibus, non de moribus quaeritur. An est aliquid per se ipsum flagitiosum, etiamsi nulla comitetur infamia?

Experiamur igitur, inquit, etsi habet haec Stoicorum ratio difficilius quiddam et obscurius. Praeteritis, inquit, gaudeo. At enim hic etiam dolore. At ille pellit, qui permulcet sensum voluptate. Sed haec quidem liberius ab eo dicuntur et saepius.

In 2007, 37 Signals, the company behind Basecamp, shifted to a four day work week. This is not unheard of, other companies have done likewise, providing options for 10 hour days to make up the hours. Only 37 signals did not expect people to make up the extra hours. Instead, they simply cut a day out and continued paying staff the same amount. In an op-ed for the New York Times, co-founder Jason Fried explained: “Better work gets done in four days than in five. When there’s less time to work, you waste less time. When you have a compressed workweek, you tend to focus on what’s important. Constraining time encourages quality time.” Deep work is a mental model associated with productivity but also creativity that arises from deep critical thinking.
