I'm not sure I see the benefits. I personally enjoy the 3+2 week: work Mon-Wed, Thursday off, work Fri-Sat, Sunday off. Basically spreading the weekend over the entire week.
I do not like the idea of being relaxing at the end of the week, why not give yourself a break during the week? Some say "oh but I'd need two days off for kids/family/travel" — if you have flexible hours, you can move stuff around and take those two or more days off whenever you want.
In any case, what is insane is working 8 hours a day, not 5 days a week. If you want to work less and enjoy life more, work fewer hours in a day.
- j7ake 3y agoI prefer working 7 days a week, 5 hours a day. Creating strong habits and momentum is key to getting things done efficiently and effectively.
- sph 3y agoI agree. In practice I do 7 days, 4 hours of deep work a day, but on the days off I work on whatever tickles my fancy, rather than the most pressing task. I find leaving some unstructured space to chase what feels fun, which might be work, a side project or a new idea, is a better approach if one has a squirrel brain like mine.
- j7ake 3y ago7 days 4 hours also means you can do two hours morning, two hours late night, and have whole mid morning to mid-afternoon to yourself.
- sph 3y agoI have found I work best 9-1pm in one go, when I am refreshed, stimulants in the blood and no one's around, while leaving the entire afternoon and evening for everything else.
