Humans are adaptable. We just get used to stuff.
Right now, many of us are used to working from 9-5. 8 hours in which we do the work we need to do. What if the work day were actually 10 hours? Do you think we’d feel 25% less busy because of the extra time?
Intuitively, we might think so. But, we would get used to it. I’m sure if we had a norm of the ten hour work day, we’d feel just about the same amount of stress as we do now.That begs the question, what if the work day were only 6 hours? Do you think we’d feel more busy in the long run?
My guess is that we’d get used to it. We’d adapt.
Knowing that humans are adaptable, what do you want to adapt to?
