Why we don’t work Fridays

Uncovering the secrets of the Four Day Week.

Think Productive launched its Four Day Week back in 2011 (waaaay before it was “cool” or on anyone else’s radar) and have never looked back.

As productivity experts, and global pioneers of the 4 Day Working Week, we’re often asked: how on earth do you fit 5 days into 4?

Join us on this inspiring Keynote as we reveal the incredible benefits, challenges and strategies for a successful 4 Day Week, from the unique perspective of a team of productivity and wellbeing geeks.

After over a decade of working in this way, we can truly say it’s life-changing, and firmly believe it’s the future of work.

In the meantime, even if the 4DW feels like a distant pipedream, we’ll show you, the enlightened knowledge worker, how to use the Productivity Ninja® mindset and strategies to make space for what matters.

This keynote is for you if:

  • You’re a senior leader, HR director or People team exploring whether a four day week could work for your organisation and want to hear from people who have actually been doing it since 2011 — not just researching it
  • You’re planning a conference, leadership event or away day and want a keynote that genuinely challenges how people think about work, time and productivity in a way that’s inspiring rather than theoretical
  • Your organisation has heard the four day week debate and you want an honest, practical session that covers the real benefits, the real challenges and the strategies that make it work — from the original pioneers
  • A full four day week isn’t on the table right now, but you want your people to take the underlying principles — smarter working, protecting focus, cutting unnecessary work — and apply them immediately

This has inspired me! Your team is ALWAYS amazing. I LOVE the forward thinking.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is this workshop suitable for organisations that aren’t ready to commit to a four day week yet?
    Yes. Many organisations use this workshop as an exploratory first step. It helps you understand the practical implications, identify risks, and decide whether a four day week is right for your culture, operations and customers.
    Do you advise on how to design the four day week model?
    Yes. We walk you through the different models, what they mean in practice and how they affect workload, expectations, service levels and team dynamics. You’ll leave with clearer options and the building blocks for a pilot or proposal.
    Do you cover productivity and workload challenges?
    Absolutely. A four day week isn’t just about reducing hours. It requires smarter, clearer, more intentional ways of working. We explore how to reduce unnecessary work, streamline communication and protect focus time so teams can deliver the same outputs in fewer hours.
    Is it helpful for teams who’ve already piloted a four day week?
    Yes. Many organisations use this session during or after a pilot to identify sticking points, refine team agreements and make the model more consistent and workable across the organisation.
