Science is increasingly finding that there’s enormous value in working much less each day—and relaxing far more
Because, hey, all those superproductive folks who worked four hours a day didn’t just park their brains during their off-hours. No, they hiked athletically, played instruments, painted, and chatted with friends in pubs. They were engaged in what Pang calls “active rest.” Perhaps this was easier in a time before Facebook feeds. Their leisure was regenerative because it was woven of intentional activity, stimulating the mind and the spirit.
Still, this is good news about leisure, yes? If only we could act on it! It’s not easy; workplace culture rebels against it, being governed as it is by the Puritan work ethic. This bursty style of work is hard to square with the demands of service jobs. And even in white-collar offices, the standard is to keep everyone’s butt in the chair for eight hours a day.
Until we crack that nut, we’ll spend our leisure hours in the same meager and unproductive way we do now—zoning out, online, in our cubicles.
