Weeks? Months? These are conventional constructs, not givens (unless lunar). Days 1 - 365.whatever. Non-prime number days are “business”. Prime number days are “le weekend”. Done.

Seriously. Our current mess of a calendar has ~104 weekend days, plus several fixed and floating holidays. Replace all that with: - the 72 prime number days - add the days that end in 0, that’s 108, perfect, and gives several 2-day “weekends” - make the 00 days 4-day holidays

OK, not liked. But why?

  Maybe due to not enough weekend days? Perhaps fill the gaps between twin primes, otherwise there are almost no multiple-consecutive-day weekends

    Tweaks definitely needed. Perhaps I leaned toward what would be fine for my familiar non-location/time dependent work, already very flexy. Not true for most people, of course, but things change. How’s this? 72 primes plus 50 fillers: (1), 2, 3, 5, 7, (10), 11, 13, 17, 19, (20), 23, 29, (30), 31, 37, (40), 41, 43, 47, (50), 53, 59, (60), 61, 67, (70), 71, 73, 79, (80), 83, 89, (90), 97, (100), 101, (102), 103, 107, 109, (110), 113, (120), 127, (130), 131, 137, (138), 139, (140), 149, (150), 151, 157, (160), 163, 167, (170), 173, 179, (180), 181, (190), 191, 193, 197, 199, (200), (201), (202), (210), 211, (220), 223, 227, 229, (230), 233, 239, (240), 241, (250), 251, 257, (260), 263, 269, (270), 271, 277, (280), 281, 283, (290), 293, (300), (301), (302), (303), 307, (310), 311, 313, 317, (320), (330), 331, (332), (333), 337, (340), 347, 349, (350), (351), (352), 353, 359, (360), (361), (364), (365) UK has 252 working days in 2023. Above is 243. The 41 single “off” days could be treated specially to give people more chance to set appointments or do certain kinds of business, like a more business-y Saturday.
