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.
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.
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.

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.
