Imagine only having to work 4 days a week. It makes sense right? You'd have a much more balanced week and be able to spend more time with family, friends, and having fun! 

Finland's new prime minister is actually considering a shorter workweek. She wants everyone to work just 4 days a week and for only 6 hours at a time. Less time in the office is actually better for everyone. Microsoft Japan tested the 4 day work week and found productivity went up 40 percent!  Not only were employees more productive, but they also took fewer vacation days. Less time at work helps the environment too because you'll be using less printing paper and less electricity as well.
