＜Agenda＞

The importance of rest for productivity

Are you getting enough sleep lately? Do you feel like your day includes enough breaks to rest when you’re working? Many of us would likely answer no to these questions. Modern office workers are required to balance multiple responsibilities with the development of technology and often result in long working hours. When we think about being productive, we probably imagine a person who is actively working rather than resting. However, rest is actually an essential part of working well. Breaks, including walking, exercising, make us more focused, motivated and boost our productivity. They can help prevent decision fatigue and procrastination. Therefore, we need to understand the relationship between breaks and working well.

<Questions>

1. What are your preferred ways to spend your weekends and long holidays? And what is your ideal vacation length for you if you could have?

2. How do you refresh yourself when you feel stressed? And do you think labor productivity increases after refreshing? Please explain the reason.

3. Some companies have started introducing a 4-day workweek. Do you think more and more Japanese companies should introduce a 4-day workweek? Why or why not?

Please share the summary of your group about Q3 at the end.
