    80% of our days? 🤔

    A year has 365 days. 80% of 365 = 292.

    If you work a full time job, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year, that’s “only” 260 days. Assuming no holidays or vacation days. 71.23% of days.

    Maybe they meant hours? No, that can’t be right… 365x24 = 8,760 hours a year. If you work 8 hour days, 260 days a year that’s 2,080 hours or 23.74% of available time…

    In order to be working “80% of your days” that would be 292 / 52 = 5.62 days per week. So an extra half day a week, every week for a year, with no time off other than weekends.

      Maybe they just pulled a percentage. 80% is close to the numbers you have calculated.

      And be it 70% or 80%, the point still stands.
