Improve productivity and staff loyalty with a four-day week
'The best guide to increasing your, and most other adults', leisure time by 50%. With no serious downside.' Professor Danny Dorling, University of Oxford
The workweek was designed for a different era — one with slower communication, fewer meetings, and far less digital noise. Today, many of us work longer hours yet feel less finished: inbox overload, constant pings, endless status calls, and the creeping sense that life is happening after work. The 4 Day Week Handbook is a practical, elegant guide to building a four-day work week (and a calmer mind) by working smarter, not harder—through focus, systems, and results.
This is not a fantasy manifesto. It’s a step-by-step actionable playbook for creating a 32-hour workweek that still delivers exceptional outcomes. Whether you’re an employee who wants Fridays back, a manager redesigning team performance, or an entrepreneur aiming to scale without burnout, you’ll learn how to compress work into fewer days by eliminating low-value activity, improving execution, and protecting deep work.
Inside, you’ll discover how to:
-
Diagnose where your time actually goes and identify the hidden “leaks” that steal hours
-
Apply Pareto thinking (the 80/20 rule) to responsibilities, clients, projects, and meetings
-
Replace busywork with a simple productivity system built around priorities, outcomes, and energy
-
Use time blocking, batching, and calendar design to create uninterrupted focus and flow
-
Reduce meetings with clear agendas, decision rules, and asynchronous communication
-
Streamline email and messaging so your day isn’t ruled by notifications
-
Maintain momentum with measurable goals, lightweight metrics, and practical accountability
-
Create a pilot plan to propose a flexible schedule, hybrid work arrangement, or compressed hours
A four-day workweek isn’t one “productivity hack,” it’s an operating system: attention management, boundary setting, energy management, and clear project management. This handbook helps you translate big ideas—efficiency, focus, goal setting, and work-life balance—into daily routines that hold up in real life: a crowded calendar, shifting priorities, and people who expect instant replies.
At its heart, the book helps you switch from “hours” to “outcomes.” A four-day week succeeds when your value is defined by results, not presence. You’ll learn how to set expectations, define deliverables, track progress, and communicate with clarity—language that builds trust with colleagues, clients, and leadership. You’ll also see how concepts like OKRs, KPIs, agile sprints, and lean thinking can support a shorter week without turning your job into spreadsheets.
You’ll also learn the human side of the four-day workweek: how to prevent the dreaded “four days of work crammed into four days of suffering.” Smart workload design, recovery, and consistency matter. This book emphasizes sustainable productivity, stress reduction, and long-term performance—so your shorter week feels like freedom, not pressure. It teaches you how to protect focus, reduce context switching, and finish the week with energy left for what matters.
Perfect for:
-
Professionals who want work-life balance without losing career growth
-
Remote work and hybrid work teams seeking better focus, fewer meetings, and healthier boundaries
-
Leaders, managers, and HR teams exploring flexible work policies, retention, and employee engagement
-
Entrepreneurs, freelancers, and creators who want more output in less time
- Anyone navigating burnout, brain fog, or decision fatigue and looking for a cleaner system

Derecho al desistimiento
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
