Honestly? It’s hard. I’d literally kill for a 4 day work week. It’s become ridiculous.
My gf and I don’t even have kids. I can’t even imagine having kids to manage on top.
My weekends I barely have time to socialize or engage in my hobbies or leisure. When I do, my weekend chores overflow on my Monday evening. I’m tired all the fucking time.
It feels like a god damn cage.
I tried out a 4x10 work week for a while and it was alright, but not as great as I thought it would be. Mostly because I had effectively no time during the work week to get any household chores done, so we ended up just cramming everything into the weekend anyway, largely negating the purpose of having the extra day.
But yeah, if I could do a 32 hour work week that would be incredible.
For sure! 10 hours a day is too much. I’m dead after 6 already.

Whenever I get a 3-day weekend, it feels like that’s how a normal weekend should be.
When I get a 4-day weekend, it feels luxurious.
Those 4-day work weeks are nearly as productive as the 5-day work weeks. Those 3-day work weeks are tight. But I could make it work if I really had to! Lmao

Agree. 3 day weekends is the sweet spot.
And besides, since I work from home, I spend half my time on Monday just trying to finish the laundry n shit and vacuum during lunch. I still get my work done.
