Even before the pandemic gripped the world, we had become a nation suffering unprecedented levels of stress and burnout. Now, nearly a year into our reworked lives—with remote work, childcare duties, and nearly every other aspect of our daily routine completely upended—the stress of trying to balance our professional and personal lives is at an all-time high.

In my new book THURSDAY IS THE NEW FRIDAY, I argue that the traditional five-day workweek, with its deep, historical roots and strong reinforcement from the bygone industrial era, is no longer serving us well. Here’s why:

I offer a clear plan for both a happier life and a successful career. Inspiring and instructive, THURSDAY IS THE NEW FRIDAY is essential reading for anyone in search of both peace and fulfillment. In 2021, that’s very nearly all of us.

KPCW: Joe Sanok: Thursday is the New Friday

13 October 2021

The forty-hour (or more) workweek that spans five days has become an established aspect of society. Out of seven days, we work five and take two off—that’s always been the case, right? In fact, the five-day work-week became the norm only after Henry Ford established it in his factories in May 1926. The seven-day week or the five-day workweek are arbitrary and changeable, and so is how we run our businesses. It’s “the way it is” for almost no good reason. It is how it is because it is how it has been.
