  1. 1. if you work for 4 days a week and 3 days off, which would be the better choice for offdays?

    • Friday Saturday Sunday - straight weekend
      7
    • Wednesday Saturday Sunday - more relaxed break in the middle
      4
    • random 3 days with reasons
      2


so i got off sick yesterday which is wednesday (and still sick today =/)

 

it made me think,  should we get 4 days of work per week, a break on wednesday actually felt really nice. i don't feel stress and not so lazy to get up and go to work

 

 

so if you were to have 4 days of work per week, how would you like it for the off days?

 

 

 

p/s: excuse my english, i know its very bad....

I actually work 3 days a week normally. My three days are Saturday, Sunday, Monday. If I do need to work an extra day it's on Friday. I prefer to work the weekends so that I don't have to deal with kids during the weekdays when I feel like going out to do my errands during the day time. 

 

During my 3 day work week I work 15 hours a day.

Whatever you do, have at least two days free in a town other than that, I personally would go for Saturday, Sunday and whatever other day (maybe not Monday or Friday though), just because usually most stuff goes on at weekends (friends being off school/work, etc), unless you work an office job in which the weekend days are a lot less crowded. Than I would do that, personally.

Same as you, with wednesday off.

 

A straight 3 day off would throw my sleep schedule off. If I work too much, I end up napping too much.

i know right, you can take things a bit easier especially when you're missing sleep

It's popular among factory workers. Called the 4-10s shift or something. 4 Days 10 hours each 3 off. 

Another one is 2-2-3, which I've worked before.

My dad generally works 4 10 hour shifts a week. Some times he goes in on Fridays for some over time. Personally if it were me, Id like to have Sat, Sun, Mon. Because I hate Mondays. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
