Edit: sorry for the long post, the TL;DR is at the end I have a job that combines highly stressful times (managing quickly evolving crises) and governance points (policies, useless meetings, some useful meetings). And socialization on top of that. I work 3 days at the office and 2 days from home. The days at the office are dedicated to the most exhausting meetings - the one everyone hates where people battle about who has the longest penis and stresses everyone. Productivity is close to zero. These are also the days where I socialize with my team around coffee and chatter. Strictly productivity wise these days are very poor. The fact that I meet people and have actual meaningful meetings as well saves the day. Ideally, I would compress the dick show meetings on a Monday and start the real week on Tuesday. Two days in the office from 9 to 18 are acceptable then. Effective work wood be probably about 4 hours per day. The days at home are for thinking and quick Zoom calls focused on a given topic. I set 30 minutes per call, with the possibility to extend to 1h if needed. Anything more means another call. Effective work time: about 5 hours a day. I am exhausted after the dick show meetings and I know I won't do any good work afterwards. Despite having a very senior position at my company I know I cannot change these meetings. A crisis is not a problem, I can do it over hours and hours and be very positive. That is before my management arrives "to help". Sorry for the long post, the TL;DR is that it would be great to have 4 days weeks, but this would need to come with major changes on how companies are managed or we will end with less productivity because of the mentally draining part that is endangering the useful one.
