Or, we’ll have cream with that on a Monday.

The drums keep beating for a four-day working week here and around the world. Momentum is gathering speed.

If it is true that humans are effective (can concentrate) for only three hours a day, then the concept does not seem like a big deal.

And if workers continue to work from home, then no one is going to miss them in the office anyway! Let’s face it, three-day weekends may well have been in place for quite a while now.

If production and efficiency can be enhanced, quality time improved with family and a freshening up of the approach towards work possible, then we may as well bring it on.

It may well be that a four-day working week is Friday to Sunday and Saturday to Monday so that working environments are not totally vacant, especially for maintaining production runs and business communication with overseas markets.

After all, we don’t want to be the country others cannot contact on a Monday when they want to reorder their baby powder order, or on a Friday when widgets need to be urgently delivered.

There is also the master-slave matter about all this. Business owners who choose not to go into the office every day, and are not in favour of the four – day a week concept, even though they already live it, are concerned about the five day a week routine changing, because production rates may be affected.

But if humans are only effective three hours a day…what is the big deal?

If we are already not productive enough as a nation, where is all this going?
