I took a break from the pull of the moon this week to cook up a little mix dedicated to the working week. We start off on a blue Monday but soon find ourselves locked into a special zone, getting the job done with a little extra bounce in our step, so long as you've plugged in your funky motivational speakers.
Apparently, we can thank Religion and Henry Ford for giving us the 5 day work week, which was reduced from 6 days in the early 20th century. Religion giving us the Judeo-Christian-double-sabath-holiday, and Mr Ford for reducing the days but holding wages steady in the 1920s. So keep that in mind next time you're engaging in bashing those two institutions (Religion and Fordism that is).
As a man who likes to laze, I support this reduction of working hours theory. But it's not just for those who love laziness - have a play with the graph on this page and see how reduction in average working hours helps the economy.
Food for thought, food for fish. Don't forget to feed them -->
Enjoy and Share
