A growing number of voices are pushing for the U.S. to embrace a four-day work week, leading critics to question the wisdom of what would be a cultural sea change.
I do 4x10 and it’s a joy - for me. I can work from home when I want and 10 hours flies by when you know you have a 3 day weekend to look forward to at the end. I’m definitely more focused and productive.
I used to work 9:30a-8p four days a week and it was actually a pretty sweet gig. I did nothing but work and sleep for four days, then had three days off every weekend.
I did it for 4 years while my son was very young. I loved it and would return to it if not for school hours. 6am to 4pm worked really well and having 3 days off meant some great family time.
My wife did a 4 day week too and we offset our days so that our son only needed 3 days in daycare during the week.

I used to do 4 10s, from 6am til 4pm. It wasn’t horrible. But 4 8s would be so much better.

I do 4 on 4 off, 4x12hr days then 4x12hr nights, the 4 off is excellent.
That would kill me.
I used to work 5x10hr and it was so much worse, currently I have 2 days off and then my weekend starts again.
