But trying to fit in a full week of work in a three- to four-day period to accommodate these activities can be stressful if not approached correctly. Instead of feeling anxious about getting everything done, I\u2019ve found it\u2019s best to re-prioritize work and focus on the essentials.   In this episode of the Working Without Pants podcast, I share my journey of how I\u2019ve come to love a three- to four-day workweek while still being able to accomplish everything I need to.    My first tip if you\u2019re feeling overwhelmed while trying to manage work with play is to take a step back and ask yourself, \u201cWhat happens if I don\u2019t get XYZ tasks done this week?\u201d What you\u2019ll find is that many of the things you\u2019re stressing about can be pushed back without any consequences. Making this paradigm shift isn\u2019t about making an excuse to be lazy, but rather it\u2019s about supporting your mental health while being fully engaged on the days you are working.    Minimizing your workweek can actually bring about more productivity on the tasks that really matter and allow you more freedom to pursue your interests outside of work.   Want to work with me as an advisor?
