@englishwithreeka: Can someone please explain to me why the workday in Georgia 🇬🇪 at 10am and ends at 6pm? The majority of the world starts their workday at 8am, 9 at the latest, and here usually nothing is open until past 10 or even sometimes 11 am. For me, as an American, it's madness! How is that good for productivity? Or the economy? Why is it a habit to go to bed super late, wake up super late, and start working super late? I've never understood this even after 14 years if living here because to me, it doesn't make much sense as a human being. Not just because of capitalism or something, but because we should be rising with the sun. It's part of our DNA. I always feel so productive in the morning and many Georgians tell me the complete opposite. 🤷🏽♀️ They feel exhausted and tired 💤until after noon and enjoy staying up late. Is it a cultural thing? Is it part of the Georgian DNA? Does it have anything to do with being a post soviet country? I am so serious when I ask this, why is everything starting later in this country than the rest of the world and why is it so difficult to rise and shine in the morning 🌄? #easterneurope #postsoviet #capitalism #tbilisigeorgia #საქართველო

We dont live to work and like going out on weekdays to meet up with our friends. So productivity is not at the core of our existence

I completely agree. Starting work at 10am makes the whole day feel wasted. in Europe, I used to start at 7am and it felt much more productive

Haha I agree with you. When I moved to the US from Georgia, can you imagine how it was for me? 😅 It was so hard to adjust to this schedule especially since my work starts at 8 a.m.

Georgian here , leaving in America for almost 30 years and never could I understand this early bird and all . There is no work life balance in US . I believe whatever you want to do at 6am , most definitely can be done at 10am 😁…. Had one job that I had to wake up at 6am 🤦🏻♀️. Made me miserable and borderline depressed. Never again ! I run my small business that opens at 10 am and I’m happy as a clam …. My point is I we should switch 🤣🤣🤣
