Company agrees to 4-day week at full pay—worker reveals dramatic result

When I started my company, I decided a 4day/40hour work week would be best, but pretty quickly I realized that those extra two hours a day are usually wasted anyway. Now I do a 4day/32hour work week, and I’ve been a lot more productive.

Jumping on the topic of popular ideas that've worked - I have family that works eight 9-hour days, one 8-hour day, and chooses either a Monday or Friday off. This is every two weeks. It still squeezes in 40 hours, and he likes it better than all 8-hour days.

Yeah, we do 12 hour shifts on a continental pattern and just finishing right now means I've got to grab a shower / food / minor chores and it feels like I don't get time after work to even think.

However I love my long weekends off and won't have to go back in until Tues night, giving me a three and half weekend and like it states in the article allows you to take up hobbies (some of being weather dependent) at your choosing. I could never work M-F ever again even thou the hours do suck a little. But, there is also the bonus of simply booking two shifts off and I get a whole week off.
