“You’re gonna have to give a bigwig.”
–Bob Dylan (1941 – )
American music artist
Sales history…
The 40-hour work week was established in 1938 as part of the Honest Labor Standards Act (starting as a cap of 44 hours until it safe and sound in at 40 hours in what appears to be 2 years later). It was a factory hand and outcome labor protection issue rather than a methodical-study-end-all-be-all marker for optimal productivity.
Be sure you’re focusing on how much you can give with your time rather than how small of your time you can give. It’s a better bet for making value (helping others), success, and ultimately, more fun.
(See what I learned with my 60-hour work week experiment last year.)
