Of course every personal experience is just anecdotal but since I only work 24 hours a week I feel able to educate myself, do sports, feel more healthy. Before that I worked one week full and one week only 4 days repeatedly and I really got the feeling that coming in on Mondays after a short week was so much easier. I felt more relaxed and satisfied because I could do other stuff on the weekend than trying to catch up with buying things and all that organizational junk you have to do as an adult.
Now I work 6 hours a day, 4 days a week and I don't take long breaks anymore. I stopped to read blogs or news at work after lunch, I just work. Would be really interesting if this is just me or if it could be scientifically proven that working less is more.

- tonyjstark 10y agoI support researchers of the humanities by developing different services like registries and restful apis. But you know, everything has it's cost. I am definitely underpaid but at some point I decided time > money for now.
- wineisfine 10y agoThat's right, no man can excel more then 6 hours a day doing great, focused work.
