Are You Working Harder than You Should, Part 7?

Lessons we can learn from Jay from his 32-year career based on a 3-day work week:

Reason Number 7: Freedom from politics.

Working on your own both eliminates and creates a competitive atmosphere. On your own, you are your own competition; you succeed or fail on the basis of your own abilities, and ability to compete with others providing a similar service.

The above is healthy competition. As a sole practitioner, you are freed from the necessity of dealing with unhealthy, "intramural," competition of jealous coworkers who are willing to sabotage your efforts in order to advance their own agendas.

Are you using this freedom from petty politics to free your mind to deliver the increased productivity required by a three-day workweek?
