Four Day Workweek – Now there is an Idea !
Some ideas actually might have some traction, and the four day work week is one of them. The eight hour day has been with us about ninety years in the industrialized part of our society, and the rest of us – small business owners, farmers, and entreprenuers – work insane hours
The summary items come from an unlikely source – the Oil Drum Blog
Here’s the short list :
1. Reduced oil imports
2. Reduced CO2 impact
3. Less traffic congestion
4. Less exposure to pollution for commuters
5. Productivity improvements
6. Improved family time and relationships
and the personal favorite
reduction in Voluntary Solitary Confinement – the bumper to bumper parking lot that moves a few feet at a time.
Sounds like it is not getting here a moment too soon.

I have been an Audible subscriber for years, consuming scores of programs on lengthy commutes, on the treadmill, on flights or just walking the dog.
More than once, after a long trip we have been parked in the driveway finishing a chapter.
I especially enjoyed the book “Devil in the White City” – a history thriller about the Chicago Columbian Exposition in 1892 and America’s First Serial Killer. Why ? Because it took place only a few blocks from my commute on the Dan Ryan Expressway, a few blocks my exit !
Please be sure to use the link www.audible.com/slashdot. It will help us both out.
Thanks !
