If your workdays are constrained by school hours, health, or simply how you want to live, a four-hour workday isn't indulgent — it's a smart business strategy. In this episode, Anna shares how to protect your best thinking time, simplify what doesn't matter, and design a business model that works inside real life.

• A four-hour workday forces clarity: you protect deep work and stop low-value tasks getting to hide in "busy".

• If your business only works when you overwork, it's a business model issue — not a discipline issue.

• Time caps reveal what's unviable fast: pricing, scope, and over-custom delivery need to change.

• The goal isn't rigidity — it's designing around your peak hours so the rest of the day is lower-stakes by choice.
