The 9-to-5 Flaw and why Async is the way

<p>Ever wondered why we&rsquo;re so glued to the 9-to-5 work schedule? Are we really thinking this is the best way to be productive?</p> <p>Spoiler alert: It&rsquo;s not.</p> <p>Let&rsquo;s get real. A&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/invitation-digital-ltd/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">vouchercloud</a>&nbsp;study found that in an 8-hour workday,&nbsp;<strong>people are productive for just about 3 hours</strong>&nbsp;(sample of only onsite workers). Yep, you read that right &mdash; only 3 hours.</p> <p>So why are we sticking to a system that&rsquo;s clearly not working and it&rsquo;s so last century?&nbsp;</p> <p>Hey, I get it; not everyone has the luxury to ditch the 9-to-5. But it&rsquo;s high time companies start considering asynchronous work instead of the &ldquo;we&rsquo;ve always done it like this&rdquo; standard. Why?</p> <p>Let&rsquo;s dig into the data:</p> <p>&nbsp;<strong>Increased Productivity</strong>: A study by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/rescuetime/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">RescueTime</a>&nbsp;found that people have just 2 hours and 48 minutes of productive time in a workday. Guess what happens when you allow async work? Employees can focus on tasks during their peak productivity hours.<br /> And yes, that means not everyone will be online 9 to 5. That&rsquo;s ok. You will survive.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@marisamerces/the-9-to-5-flaw-and-why-async-is-the-way-3f27c9ed878e"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
