I think it depends on the total number of hours per week. If we assume 40 hours regardless, I’d rather spread it out over 5x8 than work 4x10. Ten hours is just too long - even after 8, I’m mentally cooked.
If we’re shortening the work week by 4 hours, I’d rather take that as a single afternoon off. 4x8, then Friday is a half day (vs shortening 5 days by a fraction of an hour).
If we were to go to a 32 hour week, I’d probably want to just do 4x8 and have a 3 day weekend. That allows so many options for short trips, major home projects, camping, going downtown, etc. With the current 2-day weekend, I always feel torn between doing things that are fun vs doing chores. It’s never quite enough time.
