The Ideal Work Schedule

According to Benjamin Franklin, the ideal work schedule consists of: 8 hours of work, 4 hours of play and 10 hours of sleep.

Whether or not you have a schedule like this, or one at all may be something to consider. Improving the balance of your work and play can help improve your productivity, lifestyle and overall happiness.

Just having a work schedule in itself is important. Keeping a schedule takes the ‘shock’ out of working. Springing a full 8 hour work day after a week of shorter work days on yourself is a sure fire way to burn yourself out and a schedule helps to alleviate that.

Is it viable to do this in todays hyper fast information age? Well, that is down to the person who takes on the challenge of improving their work schedule. Balancing work is always important, and any strategy that helps to improve that balance is always a good thing.
