The 9-to-5 Flaw and why Async is the way
<p>Ever wondered why we’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’s not.</p>
<p>Let’s get real. A <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/invitation-digital-ltd/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">vouchercloud</a> study found that in an 8-hour workday, <strong>people are productive for just about 3 hours</strong> (sample of only onsite workers). Yep, you read that right — only 3 hours.</p>
<p>So why are we sticking to a system that’s clearly not working and it’s so last century? </p>
<p>Hey, I get it; not everyone has the luxury to ditch the 9-to-5. But it’s high time companies start considering asynchronous work instead of the “we’ve always done it like this” standard. Why?</p>
<p>Let’s dig into the data:</p>
<p> <strong>Increased Productivity</strong>: A study by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/rescuetime/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">RescueTime</a> 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’s ok. You will survive.</p>
