"Three day weekends are excellent and I think we should have more of them. I am far from alone.
A trial across multiple countries found a four-day work week reduces burnout. The World Economic Forum found four-day work weeks to be good in 2022. There’s also groups that run training courses on how to move your company to a four-day work week and they have a bunch of research also.
Since we’re all about data-driven decision making these days, I guess we’re all moving to adopt four-day work weeks as fast as we can, right? Given all the benefits and the research showing it’s a good thing to do? No?
Apparently it takes around 20 years for research to fight its way out of the dry prose of academic journals and into the wider populace.
A four-day work weeks seems weird only because we’re used to five, but there’s nothing natural about a two-day weekend. It’s remarkable how quickly people adjust to sudden changes in timekeeping, after all. Weeks aren’t real in the way that days are, and yet we make weird and arbitrary changes to how long a day is all the time and call it #daylightsaving.
Maybe we could start calling #fourdayweeks “#weekend saving” and start doing it for six months at a time to get people used to the idea. Once the people closer to the equator figure out what to do with their curtains and cows for half a year, we could suggest that this changing of the week twice a year is silly and we should just move to a permanent four day work week.
Then we can move on to the next goal: the three day work week.
Who’s with me?"

Tonight is a weird night for me.
My employer doesn't allow employees to carry vacation days or personal days over from one year to the next. That used to be an option, but about 8 years ago they restricted us, and then completely forbade any carry over. We have to use them or lose them.
So for the past 8 years, I've realized in September that I had to take a lot of vacation days or lose them. I've been working for the same company for over 25 years now, so I'm maxed out on vacation days: 5 weeks, plus 2 personal days. I also have what used to be called sick days, but I think those might carry over. I'm not sure.
Anyway, what I've been doing is taking every Friday off every week from September through the end of the year. Even then, I still have more days I have to take; so the last month or two I'm off quite a bit. Fortunately, those are the quietest times of the year for me.
But tomorrow will be the start of the first full five working day week for me in months. For the last 4 months or so, I've been living with a 4-day work week, and often a three-day work week. Let me tell you something: a shorter work week is better. MUCH better. It's like having my life back.
It's only after spending months working four days per week that I realize the sheer *insanity* of spending 5/7ths of my life doing something that I would NOT choose to do on my own, just for me and my family to survive - and only barely, at that!
The labor movement in the United States brought us the 5-day week and the 40-hour work week. Then the monied class bought them out, corrupted them, and destroyed them in all but name.
The Democratic Party passed measures to help the working class after the Great Depression, and then they got bought out, corrupted, and converted into loyal servants of the war machine and the billionaire class.
What happened to the American people? Why did they stop fighting? What the hell is wrong with us?

Stabbed myself in the hand this week at work. Didn't need stitches but its made putting pressure on my left hand almost impossible.
Hitting the elliptical machine exclusively until the hand is better.

Ben rat was gripped by Monday blues,
the dread of the week ahead stew,
that gripped him so tight,
he can't sleep at night,
but woke to find the Sunday news.

#Science confirms what we all suspected: Four-day weeks rule
As long as you get paid like a 5-day gig
The research, led by Boston College associate professor of sociology Wen Fan and economics professor Juliet Schor, also found that changes to #working patterns led to better #jobsatisfaction and fewer #sleep problems.The research found that switching to a four-day #workweek led to an actual reduction in average working hours of around five hours per week.
