You ever hear people talk about how they shifted from a 5-day work week to a 4-day work week and it increased their productivity? Well, that’s two data points we can extrapolate from using statistical modeling. Now, following the resulting trend line, you can clearly see that a 3-day work week would be even better than the 4-day one. It’s this spot right here on the graph. Okay, now look at this. It’s a 2-day work week. That’s projected to be even better than the 3-day one. Pretty nifty, huh? Well stick with me here, because this isn’t over yet. As we get to the far end of the graph, you can see that a 1-day work week would offer the best productivity of all. Isn’t that something? Who would have thought, right? But before you get really excited, I do want to come clean about something. I’ve been hiding something from you. The fact is, there’s one more point on the graph. That’s right. And you have to steel yourself for this one. Okay? Are you ready? Okay. Because this point here shows that a 0-day workweek has infinite productivity. Isn’t that wild? But it’s true. It’s true, because of math. Neat stuff, huh? Well, that’s about all I have time for today. I’m off to go be infinitely productive. See you around!
