YEREVAN, OCTOBER 6, ARMENPRESS. And now Sweden is successfully redefining the 40 hour work week by the widespread implementation of the 6 hour work day.

“Armenpress” reports referring to humansarefree.com that the 40 hour work week is something that most of the world has not only become accustomed to, but has grown to accept. 

Despite this acceptance, many of us often find ourselves drained week after week, regularly drifting out of focus when at work and eagerly awaiting the point where we can celebrate 5pm on a Friday.

But what if the work week wasn’t so draining? Would we still find ourselves so desperately anticipating the weekly TGIF moment? Or would our productivity actually surpass what we produce within what we seem to have accepted as normal?

Several Swedish organizations seemed happy to explore this possibility, and have experienced only positive results since making the switch.

The company Filimundus, a Stockholm-based app developer, made the shift last year with the theory that a shorter work day would make employees more motivated to accomplish more in a shorter period of time. 

The one caveat that Filimundus employees must follow is to stay off of social media websites during work hours, something that I’m sure a large number of us currently distract ourselves with for a substantial portion of our 8-hour work day.
