One challenge I've struggled with: for many, work *is* their form of enjoyment. They pick a career they love. And so bundling the "I must do it" from the "I choose to do it" parts of work is hard.
(For many, though, of course every extra hour of work is still something they'd rather avoid...)
Same here. I definitely think that there is a segment of people for whom working 4 or fewer days per week would not bring them the most joy and meaning.
I think one of the great challenges for companies is to know how to manage these different work preferences across their workforce, so as give workers more freedom but also not interrupt the productive flow of work. The remote work debate shows how hard this is in practice...
