- AndrewOMartin 9y ago4 days no 3 days off makes a hell of a lot more sense than 5 days on 2 days off.
- vinceguidry 9y agoI'd love to see an 8 day week with three days off. The five day workweek is a great rhythm. Four days on, three days off just seems too decadent. I think the ideal would be 5 on, three off with 6 hour workdays.
- ajuc 9y agoFor a few months I worked 3 days a week. It's decadent, maybe, but it's awesome. By the time Monday came I was thirsty to get back to work. The only problem was - it's harder to keep in mind what you worked on the last week when you get back, but it's not a big deal (just make more notes, commit more often, and hibernate computer instead of shutting it down).
- swsieber 9y agoI'd be fine breaking up the work days with a break day in between - I'd probably avoid it some weeks for a longer weekend event, but I think I could do 2 days on, 1 day off, 2 days on, 2 days off...
- vinceguidry 9y agoIf I had that I think I'd wind up working at least a half day or so just to keep from getting too bored. You're talking to a guy that spent half of a 2 month vacation in Colombia learning web development.
