#46 How Many Hours Should You Work

The 40 hour work week was established as part of the New Deal in 1937, yet it's still the prevailing work structure we work within.

Listen this week for their tips on getting to the right number of hours for you. To access all the resources mentioned, head to www.amazingif.com
