The four-day week trial: 100% of companies keeping it, burnout down 62%, life satisfaction up 45%, financial performance doubled. It's almost like treating humans as humans instead of productivity machines actually works. Who knew? 🤔

Insightful commentary from Bob Wachter, MD and Erik Brynjolfsson, PhD about whether #GenerativeAI will break through the #ProductivityParadox. I agree that initial wins are almost certainly in "areas of waste and administrative #friction." https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2812615

Realized that 'productive' days don't always make me feel less of an imposter. Sometimes, it's the opposite. Can anyone relate? #productivityparadox #productivity #impostersyndrome
