The 5-day workweek isn’t tradition—it’s inertia. A corporate relic we keep dragging around like it’s “normal,” even while teams burn out, creativity flatlines, and productivity turns into clock-watching.

In this episode of Ignoring the Rules, host Wayne Robertson makes the case for a shortened workweek—not as a feel-good perk, but as a strategic advantage.

Here’s what you’ll get:

• Why 4 days can outperform 5 (focus beats fatigue)
• How a shorter week boosts energy, creativity, and execution
• What leaders get wrong about “productivity” (and how to fix it)
• Practical ways to roll it out without breaking deadlines or quality

This isn’t about coddling people. It’s about weaponizing morale
