Mr 80-Percent

Reflecting on the 80-percent approach to work and why working fewer hours can mean getting more done.

Nick Denton wrote an interesting article last month on how many hours people can, do, and should work in a week. It’s clear that he favours ‘80%ers’ over ‘120%ers’. I do too; having been in the fortunate position to do so, I made the move from a 5-day week to a 4-day week a couple of years ago. I’m not saying I don’t spend time at the keyboard during the 5th day, but it works wonders for one’s overall karma. Here’s to living life.
