your list, one expert says follow these three tips. number one, set up automatic savings. >> instead of going i'm depriving myself, it's i'm paying myself now. i'm actually choosing to pay myself so that in three months, i can do what i want. >> this may mean scheduling transfers from your checking account to your savings account every pay period. number two, track your spending and stop being wasteful. download free apps or software that categorize your spending. >> when we look at where our money is going, suddenly it gives the freedom to know this is actually how much i have. and maybe i need to cut back on this over here if i want to spend more money on gifts. >> number three, plan for some guilt-free cash. as you're working towards saving money, pay off that debt. and staying within your budget, make sure you also set some aside for fun that way you won't burn out. the fidelity survey also found that the majority of surveyed

americans would rather save $5,000 than lose five pounds. people have been talking than all week. did you hear than last week? >> fascinating. some people would rather spend $5,000 if they could be assured of losing five pounds. i'll give the money. just get the weight off. >> thank you, michael. how does this sound? your 40-hour workweek shrinks to 24. your days, they go from five to four. >> yes! there is actually a method behind that madness. it's a proposal being floated in finland, and we'll tell you about it. and we are keeping a close eye on the devastating wildfires in australia. the help that

now, news to building a better bay area from abc7. >> in the u.s., workers spend 90,000 hours of their life at work. >> that's awful. >> when you look at it like in total, that number, it's staggering. >> it is. but a nordic country is proposing a shorter, much shorter workweek. that's not much shorter. >> well. >> and work day in order to achieve that elusive work-life balance. >> abc7 news anchor dion lim joins us with more on this intriguing proposal, dion. >> i think all of news the newsroom said yes, let's do it. i will take it.

apparently the new prime minister of finland has proposed a six-hour work day and a four-day workweek. i wanted to dig into this a little more to see if this kind of schedule would ever work in the united states. here is a question. how much time do you spend at work each week? >> probably 80 to 100. it's a lot. >> i used to work 60 to 80 hours, and i let that go. >> the national bureau of labor statistics reports americans work more than anyone in the industrialized world. we take less vacation, work longer days, and retire later, which makes a proposal by finland's prime minister sanna marin of a nationwide six-hour work day and four-hour workweek amazing. >> i'm all for that. but sometimes the work needs to get done. >> the entire u.s., that's kind of asking a lot. >> for a time, sweden even had a four-day workweek. but this is already a country with 480 day maternity leaves and a five-week mandated

vacation policy. i wanted to see what their productivity was. they tell me it's taking a break. >> if you have a well rested employee, it's more effective when you're at work, because you're not constantly stressed and i think that's what the studies have shown. it works in sweden. >> there is even something called fica in sweden, which literally translates to coffee and cake break. but back to the four-day workweek. how realistic is that in the u.s.? >> it's a really hard cultural shift to make. >> productivity coach alexis haselberger says oftentimes american workers feed into that illusion of hard work. >> people say they're working 80 to 90-hour weeks. they may be at work 80 to 90 hours, but i don't think people are actually working that much. the studies show that the more we work, we don't actually get more done. >> so what's the first step in implementing a shorter work day and workweek here in the u.s.? >> individual leaders have the ability to make change, but i think the way finland is doing

it is probably not going to work here. >> hopefully my boss is paying attention to that and she is maybe making some changes. who knows. joining us right now to talk a little more about the productivity tips and takeaways is alexis haselberger herself. thank you for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> the one thing that struck me so much is a well rested employee is more productive. that's according to the folks at the consul general's office. and there are studies that prove this. >> yeah, there are some studies that show that actually we're supposed to be getting about seven to nine hours of sleep a night. who is getting nine hours? i don't know. never. but when you're getting less than seven hours, there are studies that show for each one hour less, it's like having the equivalent of a cocktail in you. if you're getting five hours of sleep, that's like walking around in the world with a two cocktail buzz all the time. >> i will remember this as i'm walking around my newsroom. okay. when it comes to the actual tips themselves, one of them is prioritizing things. and when i tried to get you for the story, i think i reached out to you via twitter and linked in

and email and finally you gave in. what was that it prioritized me in your day to day? >> it was simply that i got to a point where i was checking messages. because i only check slack, email, linked in two to three times a day and i get everything down to zero. you reached out a few times in a few hours and checked it. this is really interesting. but i didn't see any of that before that. >> so basically, had i not gotten to you within that window you would have never seen it. >> if you would have been later, we would have never connected. >> but what about that stress? for me when i see that inbox where there are 500 emails that are unread, it gives me anxiety. what do people do to quell that feeling of i'm not doing anything to solve this? >> so i think first of all everybody has that anxiety. have i that anxiety too, but i've conditioned myself over time to be less responsive to it because i know that when we have distractions, when it takes us 23 minutes to recover from a

distraction, and every time you get a little email ping, that's a distraction, i know that's not good for me or for my productivity. i essentially say the pain of sort of that anxiousness is less important to me than getting things done. >> the pain of that anxiousness. it's true. i feel it constantly. you know, what about the actual sorting of the things that you need to do? because email is just one of many tasks that we have on a day-to-day basis. >> i think one really important thing for productivity is to be able to have an external system. i call it a single trusted system whe all your tasks live. everything from that big news story you're working on to the fact that you need to buy your niece a birthday present next week to the fact that your driver's license needs to be renewed in two years, all of that stuff needs to be in there so you can use your brain to focus on the task at hand, instead of remembering all those things. >> i see. and are there special apps or methods you recommend people use? >> there are lots of different apps. the one i recommend most

frequently is tick tick. >> i'm writing that down. not many people have heard of it weirdly, but i reviewed 50 different task apps, and that someone of my all-time favorites. it's really easy to use. it has all the features you need but none you don't. this is not an ad. they did not pay me to say this. but it's an app i really love. it can go on the go with you in your phone. it's also sinked to your computer, et cetera. >> great ideas. alexis haselberger, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> even if we can't have a shorter workweek, maybe we can be a little more productive, guys. >> that was good information. i don't know that that would ever happen in america. do you? >> it's worth a try. >> it definitely is worth a try. all right. workers at one of silicon valley's original giants could have a new boss. xerox is upping its effort to buy hewlett-packard. its proposal values the palo alto company around $33 billion. xerox says it has lined up $24 billion to pull off the deal. it first made the offer in early

trumpand total disaster.mplete let obamacare implode. nurse: these wild attacks on healthcare hurt the patients i care for. i've been a nurse in new york for thirty years. i know the difference leadership can make because i saw what mike bloomberg did as mayor. vo: mayor bloomberg helped lower the number of uninsured by 40%, covering 700,000 more new yorkers, life expectancy increased. he helped expand health coverage to 200,000 more kids and upgraded pediatric care--- infant mortality rates dropped to record lows. and as mayor, mike bloomberg always championed reproductive health for women. so when you hear mike bloomberg on health care...
