I know the point of this post is more along the lines of working fewer hours in the week, but here's my anecdote. I work 4/10's, so 4x 10-hour days and it's been great. Even though right now I'm remote, when I would normally go in it meant 1 less day per week I'd be commuting. On top of that, I've found the following benefits: * 10 hour days leave more chance for productive time. That's one less day of "take an hour in the morning to try to wake up and get the gears turning", one less scrum. * Having a weekday off to do chores for places that are normally closed weekends is fantastic. Doctors appointments, haircuts, etc. Some I could do on sick leave, but it's nice to not have to. * Working a longer day than most also means timing the commute is easier. I'm less likely to start or end in rush hour. Overall I could never see myself going back to a normal 8-hour workday.
