Unit Interactive’s 4½-Day Workweek

Andy Rutledge on his firm’s shortened workweek…

We have rules for Fridays. No project launches, no discovery meetings, in fact no meetings of any kind. Friday is when the pressure valve is opened, not tightened. Working smartly, most of our project work is accomplished in just four days. There are exceptions, but Friday half-days here are often when folks use the structure of office time to work on personal projects, to write articles or blog posts, or to catch up on things left behind by the sometimes overly-structured activities of the work week.

Back at Spiral we did this for a bit in the summers. It’s amazing how much difference adding half a day to your weekend can make.
