Four-Day Work Week: Achieving Work-Life Balance with Charles Alexander

The Social Media Takeaway - Louise McDonnell

"We're busier than ever before and probably less productive than we've ever been." - Charles Alexander

In this week's episode of The Social Media Takeaway, I speak with Charles Alexander, a renowned business coach and author of "Start Now, Quit Later." Charles discusses how to achieve a four-day work week by setting clear goals, tracking time accurately, and focusing on high-value tasks. He emphasizes the importance of identifying what you truly want to do with your free time and eliminating, batching, delegating, or automating other tasks. A four-day work week offers the potential for greater work-life balance, increased productivity, and more time to spend on personal pursuits and with loved ones. By reassessing how we manage our time and prioritize our tasks, we can break free from the constant busyness that hampers our productivity and enjoy a more fulfilling professional and personal life.
