Comment on Iceland approved the 4-day workweek in 2019: nearly 6 years later, all the predictions made have come true.

I work a 4x10 workweek right now. Huge improvement on my quality of life. I use my free weekday to handle chores and shopping and appointments, then actually spend my weekend with my family. I’ve been doing this for about 3 years.

I know I’ll lose this someday. Eventually somebody will use it against me. That’s the day I’ll start entertaining new opportunities.

Could you imagine 4x8 with same pay? Even better!

  They’re probably only really getting 8 hours of quality work out of most people in a 10 hour day anyway.

    I mean getting 4 or 8 or 12 or 16 hours a day of work out of me is kind of ridiculous anyway. I don’t have a job where X hours = Y production. “40 hours” a week is just my employer’s antiquated way of quantifying my work. I would prefer they just let me handle my responsibilities.

    It’s not about the money, it’s about putting down the plebs.

  I might stop trying to speedrun FIRE if I could have a 4x8 schedule. Going from 71% of the week being workdays to 57% of the week is fucking huge. Longer weekend and shorter workweek is like a double effect.
