Noteworthy Quotes:

“I actually don't think a 40-hour workweek is good for most people. I just think that we got stuck in that structure because someone decided it should be the norm.”

“We got adapted to living at a certain level of tiredness.”

“There are just so many things to do, and so many things we can experience outside of work. And I think you deserve to have the time to do those things.”

“I know that I can do that and not have everything in my life fall apart because I have the flexibility to take care of myself when I need to.”

“I think we should all have enough whitespace in our calendar so that we can either use that free time to do fun things, or just relax. Or we can use that time to get the car repaired when it breaks down. Or to take care of ourselves a family member or pet when they get sick.”
