I started working a 4 day week around 1 year ago. One of my main motivations is that my brain used to be stuck in "work mode" for most of Saturday, and I wanted 2 full days of real weekend. But having 3 days weekends actually made me better at disconnecting from work, so not only I can actually enjoy my entire weekend, but I also disconnect better during workdays.

‘I love the four-day week’: south London school part of a quiet revolution: Independent school Liberty Woodland is one of a small number in England experimenting with the timetable

UK Trials Four-Day Week
The four-day working week could be edging closer as a thousand employees across various industries take part in a new pilot of a four-day week in the UK.
Their hours will be cut while their pay-packet will remain the same, with the findings from the pilot to be presented to the UK government in the middle of 2025.
A previous four-day week trial recorded the following benefits:
- 65% fewer sick days taken.
- 57% decrease in the number of staff leaving.
- 35% average revenue increases for participating firms.
Recognising these benefits in productivity, roughly 200 British firms have already switched to a shorter working week according to the 4 Day Week Campaign group.
4 Day Week Campaign director Joe Ryle said, “These incredible results show that the four-day week with no loss of pay really works.”

Let's just ensure that if the 4-day week becomes standard, everybody gets a 20% raise so that their weekly pay stays the same. And also the minimum wage needs to increase by 20% for the same reason.

It's no secret that we work a four day week, and people ask us about it *all of the time*. Ironically, because of our condensed hours we don't really have the time to get back to everyone, so we wrote a blog post instead. https://gfsc.studio/blog/2023/four-day-week/
