What would a 3 hour work day be like? (midwest.social)

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.

And all the wasted time getting from one job to the next. Even if the travel is all virtual you still have to get setup/organised, put one thing down and pick another up.

And what happens if job 2 doesn't start for like 2 hours after job 1 and job 3 doesn't start until 3 hours after job 2? That's now a 14 hour day where your either working or getting ready to work with just enough "down time" to not really get too much accomplished... AND you're going to get taxed on each paycheck. That sounds awful
