Using the new "Loutetian" calendar, it is possible for everyone on the planet to have a 4 day work week, AND still keep their two day weekend. This is the 1st of 3 videos on this topic.

  • U dont have to drop any days of the week, just make friday part of the weekend.

  • But then we are back to a 7 day week. I want a 6 day week!

  • That means you would work less days a year and therefor get less done. The world would essentially be less productive.

  • Not really, you would take a little pay cut, and more people would be hired to fill the days that you do not work. Less unemployment, and a more rested worker when they are on the job!

  • What would happen for those people who were born Feburary 29th? Do they have to wait every 4 years for their Birthday or would it be move to the day after or before?

  • February 29th would still be February 29th as every month would have 30 days. To transfer from the Caesarian/Gregorian calendar to the Loutetian calendar, old Feb 29th actually becomes new Feb 30th as it is the 60th day of the year. Those born in X-week miss one birthday every 8 years.

  • I like the idea, cool stuff.

  • Maybe we should just re-name all of the names of the days of the week. I mean, we are re-making a calendar, might as well re-make the days aswell right? Besides, I know from expereince that depensing on the spoken language of the country, the names have important meanings. Like in Finnish and German, Wednesday means middle of the week. It wouldnt be the middle if it became the second day in a 6 day week now would it?

  • @DrewCS2 The industrialized world is too damn productive - it's sickening.

  • chuck out saturday because it represents saturn. make friday a weekend.

  • This doesn't address the central issue of why we need a 4 day work week - people need more time to live, explore, and create. It's better to have a 4 day work week (or less), and a 3 day weekend.

  • This will cost a many many billions of pounds (and dollars) to recode all software systems.

    But I like it.

  • Also, Tuesday and Thursday sound too similar. We should get rid of Thursday.

  • I totally agree. That's why I decided to be born a Monday. I would be ashamed to be born to close to a Thursday.
