I touch on the benefits of reducing your working hours and explore some of the drawbacks you might expect from spending less time working. If you’ve been rethinking what you’ve been told about productivity and the 40-hour workweek, you’ll want to hear this episode!

| 0:26.9 | Hello, hello everyone. Welcome to Productivity Paradox. I'm your host, Tanya Dalton, and this is |
| 0:33.1 | episode 181. Now, you know, this season is all about leading with confidence. And just a few weeks ago, in episode 178, I had Emma and Heather from my team come on the show. And we talked a little bit about how we've been mixing things up a little bit at the office. Things that are really allowing us not just to operate smoothly and as productively as possible, |
