I don't find 40 hours / week to be any trouble at all for me, but I always take a 3 day weekend. Flexible work hours is the key. I found working 4 10s was not good at all, but working 2 12s and 2 8s works out great. I'm a morning person, so I get to work early, before rush. The 12 hour days, I leave after rush. The 8 hour days I leave before rush. So, I pretty much skip rush hour, which is life changing. I started doing this after working a year or two of 60 hour weeks. I found I could do 12 hour days pretty well, but had no desire to work 12 hours every day. I've got relatives who are farmers and a 12 hour day seems normal to them. Only working 8 hours in a day seems incomprehensible to them.
