It often feels like there are only 3 productive hours in typical American white collar work day.

What if we just cut out the rest?

Edit: Some great responses. So responses must have also been said about the 5 day and 40 hour work weeks.

The only problem that I would have with the 3-hour work day is that sometimes they're generally is more work to do. Average is probably only about 3 hours but occasionally you need more.

Although quite a lot of time could be saved by not having meetings about meetings about when you're going to have a meeting to book the meeting. But let's be reasonable that's not happening.
