It works. If you try to cram 40+ hours in those 4 days, some things that you might have had time to do such as exercising or things like that may be impacted. The benefits you list are huge though. I'd say its worth trying. For some people, it's too long of a day, but for others they're fine with the trade off. Personally, I prefer 8 hour days to 10 hour days, but I don't have a kid yet and I have a pretty flexible schedule at work for appointments and stuff right now.
- xacaxulu 11y agoI would assume anyone looking at a 4 day work week probably isn't constrained by the arbitrary (American) 40-hour work week, or wouldn't care to be.
- stevesearer 11y agoExactly. The hard thing is communicating the change to some people because the appearance is that I'm somehow taking it easy and not working hard.
- stevesearer 11y agoI'm actually planning on trying to work only ~32 hours. Part of the experiment will be to find out how much time I spend not doing work during the week. That will help me either find room in my schedule for work-related things I didn't think I had time for or just simply give me more time to enjoy with my family.
