This video is about a 4 day work week that we all keep hearing about and seeing on various websites and social media. A 4-day work week is becoming a popular topic of discussion, and for a good reason. However, if not managed properly it can be very flawed. This video looks at pros and cons of this work operating model. 4 day work week has existed for quite some time but only now in 2023 it seems to be truly taking off across the globe.

🧐 WHO AM I? I wish I had this channel when I was at Uni and transitioned into working world and next chapter in my life. It would have certainly made things easier for me. So here I am, 10 years later having a go at making videos and sharing content and tools that are centred around personal and career development, psychology, neuroscience hacks that aim to help us work smarter, better and happier. My goal is for you to realise your potential and do something about it. Basically, everything that schools and universities don't cover in great detail.
I am a school volunteer, mentor, law graduate and HR professional. I live and work in England. I work full time as a Strategic HR Business Partner role, I am also a mom to Alexander, married to Tony.

Do you work 4 days a week? If yes, how do you find it?

Hi sanja i wanted to ask is law helpful for hr ?. Im considering studying business management with law for undergrad then an msc in hr do you feel law will help in any way?. Lots of love , stay sage and may god bless you eternally now and forever ♥️♥️im 17 so just wondering

[@SanjaWilliams]

Hi, I studied law and worked as an employment law paralegal for a number of years. I then used this knowledge and transferred to HR. Yes I love your plan. Great plan. Very useful and unique experience (which is what I often get on my CV). It will give you many options down the line if you change your mind about HR.

I would also encourage you to read or listen to as audio - be so good they can’t ignore you by Cal Newport. He wrote it when he was in early 20s challenging follow passion hypothesis and focus on skills. I love it and will create a video about it. Currently trying to gather all books and insights for my son later on when he is a teenager to learn about his choices.

@@SanjaWilliams tnx so much for this ♥️ i also was considering on being a psychologist would this also be an advantage to hr?.

[@SanjaWilliams]

@@Mn_-mu9vz 100% yes, psychology and HR go so well hand in hand. I really wish I had studied psychology. I also like neuroscience.
