What Is 24Six.World
Changing the calendar is the catalyst and an achievable solution to move the people and the planet in a positive direction. The six day week will allow for vast improvements in sustainable development and individual well-being and employee engagement. The alternative of trying to get each government, company, and individual to change one at a time is like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound. Also, the six day week offers a lot more opportunities for positive change than trying to move the world to a four day work week in a seven day calendar.
How Will It Work
Remove Tuesday
Keep number of months and days in months the same
6 day week wrapped around 365 days = 60 weeks & 5 days
No Tuesday = an average of 17 less work and school days a year
4 day work and school week
8 to 9 more full weekends a year
What if one idea could be the catalyst to change the whole world and what would it include?
The end result is a change that:
Will vastly improve the well-being of all citizens
Will greatly increase employee engagement
Will significantly reduce carbon emissions
Will boost opportunities to achieve the SDG's
Will ensure buy-in from a majority of world governments and businesses
Transcends policy silos
Minimizes trade-offs concerning the SDG's
Is free of bias
Is affordable
Is achievable
Is the very definition of sustainable development
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Apparently Not Albert Einstein
Throughout history change has been a constant. Everyday leads to change in some aspect or another, except one thing has remained relatively unchanged for all of time and that's the calendar.
Vision of our WHY - Improve the well-being of all people and the planet by getting rid of a day of the week.
Who Will Benefit
Individuals
Businesses
Governments
Planet itself
How will a six day week make the world a better place?
The six day week answers the question of "what's in it for me?" for all aspects of society. The key to the success stems from the instant and ongoing change cycles that result from such a catalyst, and the chain reaction of increased well-being, employee engagement, and sustainable development that feed off one another.
