1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Who's excited to go sit at their desk for eight

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: hours pretending to work. Not me. No, No, I'm pumped

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: up about it. I'm not annoying guy in your office.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: High it's as you will show. And I say that

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: because there's been a lot of talk over the year

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: and a half about productivity in the workplace. Because of lockdown,

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: people started working from home, and then companies realized, Wait

8
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: a second, so you're telling me I don't have to

9
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: chain employees to a desk with cameras over their head

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: and someone who walks by every five minutes to check

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: what's on their computer for them to be productive. They

12
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: can be productive on their own time at home. What

13
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: companies found out that you could tell you can actually

14
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: do your job from anywhere? Now crazy? Thanks technology, But

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: according to a new survey, most workers aren't productive for

16
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: a full eight hours anyway. No, that makes sense to me. Yeah,

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: and everybody knows this. It's not a surprise, right. Even

18
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: the bosses know this. The bosses that want you to

19
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: be working for eight hours on something. I worked in

20
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: an office for about three years in my life. I

21
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: worked at this marketing company. I would literally be able

22
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: to be done with my work in one day and

23
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: then the rest of the week I'd have to spend

24
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: just playing the minimizing screens every time somebody would walk by,

25
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: so they wouldn't see me play solitary, right, And like

26
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: when I used to have a desk job or like

27
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: a cube, it was miserable that it is the worst.

28
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: You wake up and you just are like dreading the

29
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: entire work day because it's not just eight hours. It's

30
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: like the commute there, it's eight and a half. Really

31
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: if they do it right, because you get a thirty

32
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: minute lunch. Maybe sometimes they make you take a sixty

33
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: minute lunch, so then it's nine hours just at work.

34
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: And it's like, who wants to be at a miserable

35
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: freaking place that long? Long? And the a hour thing

36
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense to me because no one's attention span

37
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: is anyway for me hours, So like to think that

38
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: they can get work done is stupid, so unproductive. And

39
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: the new survey came out that showed just how long

40
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: people actually spend working when they have to work an

41
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: eight hour work day, So this should be proof that

42
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: the work week and the work day should be shortened. Okay, life,

43
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: life is too short. Right, there's nothing more valuable than time.

44
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: Don't get it back, right, You don't get time back anyway.

45
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: People spend on average working in an eight hour work

46
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: day four hours and twelve minutes after working, yes, time

47
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: about half the time. Yes, So why can't we just

48
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: shorten to a four and a half hour a five

49
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: hour work day. I've been saying it forever. And if

50
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: you knew that the time limit was four hours that

51
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: you were going to be that, you'd be like, okay,

52
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: I've got four I'm gonna get all my stuff done. Yes.

53
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: Such a good point it is. And I don't understand

54
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: why they don't just do it because everybody knows this.

55
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: This research has been out for probably ten fifteen plus,

56
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: it's probably been out since the beginning of work. But

57
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: then you know, the people who wanted to run things

58
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: are like, no, no, no no, that's not that that get out.

59
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: But I don't understand why they can't just go, hey,

60
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: shorten the work day. No, seriously, Like it's a long time.

61
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: It's a long time to stay away from your family,

62
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: and you know you spend more time at work and

63
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: with those people than you do with your family. And

64
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: then we always like ware like Oh, why is everyone

65
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: depressed in the world? Why does everyone have mental health issues?

66
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: I think I know well. And then also just stress

67
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: trying to handle normal life stuff. If you have a

68
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: job during the day, Oh, they can't leave, you know,

69
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: it's hard to get time off. It's like, hey, um,

70
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: I just got a car accident yesterday. I have to

71
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: run down to this place. And if I don't do it,

72
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna be out like thousands of dollars. Also,

73
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: you don't pay me thousands of dollars a month, so

74
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: how can I do that? And they're I got fifteen minutes, Yeah,

75
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: you got two fifteen minute breaks? Yeah, Or like trying

76
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: to schedule doctor's appointments or anything during the day because

77
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: like they're not open or or they're open until noon

78
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: on Saturday, which is not what you want to be

79
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: doing on Saturday. Is getting your teeth cleaned exactly and straight?

80
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: Like people will have to take days their personal vacation days, yes,

81
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: to do errands. Yes, that's stressful, and they're going to

82
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: be worse at work because of the stress. So I

83
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: just don't understand why they can't do it. And I

84
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: don't think there's anything that we can do about it

85
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: normally when I talk about things that, you know, I

86
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: don't understand why that's not a thing. It's like, let's

87
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: start a cause, but I don't even what would we do?

88
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: A change dot org petition we could do, and we

89
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: can try. We always talk about that, but we never

90
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: do it. You know why, because we're burnt out for

91
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: exactly beating more than four hours a day too long.

92
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: The people that entered this survey, that proves once again

93
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: that the workday should be shorter because during an eight

94
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: hour workday, the average worker only spends four hours and

95
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: twelve minutes actively working. I've always said people should be

96
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: able to finish their work for the day, and if

97
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: you're out of work, you should be able to go home.

98
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: Whatever it is like, so you just work on that.

99
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: There's some you know, there's a lot of companies that

100
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: that never happens. That's true. There's there's a lot of

101
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: businesses that just the work's never done. So just make it. Yeah,

102
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: make it four and a half hours, get the most

103
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: work done you can in a day, and then go

104
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: try to do some other things, because what are people

105
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: doing at work when they're not working? Because you got

106
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: another four about four hours to work. Other texting, Yeah,

107
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: bathroom breaks. I used to go take naps in the bathroom.

108
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: Oh dude. And the construction guys that work, yeah, the moment,

109
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: they always in the boxet. Yeah, there's working, just to

110
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: get away and take a nap. Other other things include

111
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: snack breaks, coffee breaks, reading and drawing, watching TV, phone calls,

112
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: listening to the Jewel Show podcast, read you up? I

113
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: don't know. That's not a bad way to do it. Yeah,

114
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: following the Jewel Show, at the Jewel Show on TikTok

115
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: and Instagram, all of us individually. I'm at Jewel Fresh

116
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: at that dres. I met Evan on the radio, And

117
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: that's a good way to kill some time in your

118
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: work day to day. Other than that, text in four

119
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: one six one, how I was going to say, how

120
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: do you spend the extra time at work when you're

121
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: supposed to be working? But I was gonna say, how

122
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,679
Speaker 1: can we actually make this a movement right and change

123
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: the work day in this kind? Let's change the world?

124
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,200
