Course programme
A 4-hour working day focuses on maximizing productivity by working fewer, more intentional hours instead of long, exhausting schedules. The approach emphasizes deep focus, elimination of distractions, prioritizing high-impact tasks, and using systems or automation to reduce unnecessary work. By concentrating on outcomes rather than time spent, individuals and organizations aim to improve efficiency, work–life balance, mental well-being, and overall performance while maintaining or even increasing results.
