Ashley Priem hadn’t gone horseback riding since she was a kid, even though it was something she loved to do growing up.
But since her workplace switched to a four-day work week last year Priem finds she’s actually able to carve out some hours in her busy schedule to revisit things she’s had to sacrifice in her adult life.
“It’s really had an effect on my mental health for sure. Just not always feeling stressed or rushed through the week to get everything done in a two-day period,” said Priem, who is a program director at EcoSuperior in Thunder Bay, Ont.
