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 think there's a different "sweet spot" for everyone. i agree, doing 3h of productivity in 3h is hard enough, but i wouldn't necessarily need to stretch it over 8h, i'd do fine with 5-6h. my last work hours tend to be the most unproductive ones anyway
