Debunking Burnout Theory: The 20-Hour Work Week Myth

Myth-Busting 101: A Guide to Not Being a Zombie

In a world where the concept of "burnout" has become a buzzword, it's easy to get caught up in the myth that we need to work 20 hours a day to be productive. But let's be real, folks, this is just not true. At all.

Our team of expert burnout debunkers (yes, that's a thing) have crunched the numbers and discovered that the real secret to productivity is actually a nice, relaxing 3-hour workday.

But don't just take our word for it! Here's some science-y-sounding stuff to back it up:

Studies have shown that humans have a natural productivity cycle of 3 hours of focus, followed by 5 hours of doing absolutely nothing.

And that's not all. Our team has also discovered that the optimal work environment includes:

• A minimum of 3 free snacks per hour
• A 1-in-10 chance of taking a spontaneous dance break
• A guaranteed 30-minute break to scroll through social media

So, go ahead, try it out for yourself. Work 3 hours a day, take 5 hours off, and see the productivity magic happen!
