We must add impaired efficiency during work as perhaps even more significant to lost days. There are no Monday morning blues, there are no Mondays in the new six day week length. Time can be effectively expanded by good management. The redistribution of time in the symmetrical, rationalised new calendar system does just that. Invest in a rest to achieve your best .
Stress is cumulative.
If the relief doesn t balance the load, problem. Today, half the holiday is lost winding down before the refresh starts. But four days cumulation is readily balanced by the two day break. With no overall loss of hours in the nmc system, yet optimised performance of the individual, work gains much. As with all questions of infrastructure, good governance must take the lead.
