Email and 4 day work weeks

I've been stalling on making my entry, which is always a bad sign. This has been an unreasonably busy week around here, I'm not sure why. Email and meetings take up a tremendous amount of time. I like having the 4 day work week and I have found the 10 hour days to be conducive to catching up with emails and such, but this week it's already Thursday and I'm still catching up from last week...

I read a book called the 80/20 Individual. It was a decent book, although it took me a long time to get through it as it was very dry. The book talked about the concept of creating against the grain, that is very familiar to me at my current place of employment - seems like all initiatives and projects are like this - an uphill battle to get anything innovative done. It is exhausting at times.

Blogging drudgery

I'm only a few weeks into this little experiment, but I already find myself shifting the "post on blog" notecard back in my tickler file. I am ready to move my personal journal online (to a private blog) but we'll see if I pull off this professional one or not.

This is week 2 of the 4 day work week. The 10 hour days we're experimenting with have been pretty good. The extra time in the morning and afternoon allows sufficient time to get caught up with unhandled emails and other issues while the phone isn't ringing and people aren't dropping by. The 3 day weekend every week is certainly nice and gives me a lot more time to work on items around the house or spend time with family. The fundamental question is, does less work get done? The answer... ?
