Three of the ten managers reported no loss of productivity despite a 20% reduction in hours – so effectively staff were about 20% more productive.

The other seven reported productivity being even higher than before.

The 4-day week I think would force you to be more productive. When Wednesday comes around you realise oh no! Only 1 more day left, better buckle down and do the work.

Time management is a real skill and honestly probably should be something that is taught not only in high school, but I think workplaces could benefit from a training seminar or something along those lines where employees who think they struggle with time management can try and improve themselves.

Though for your issue, turning off the computer or turning on do-not-disturb hours for your work IM client would probably be a benefit
