It often feels like there are only 3 productive hours in typical American white collar work day.

What if we just cut out the rest?

Edit: Some great responses. So responses must have also been said about the 5 day and 40 hour work weeks.

i've been down that road before. three part time jobs means no benefits and no employer-sponsored health coverage. it's also extremely difficult to schedule multiple part time jobs so they don't conflict with each other while still giving you something resembling 'weekend' off.
