Took a pay cut for a 4-day workweek. Best decision ive made in 5 years.

Slapped on an extra 10 hours of work each day Mon-Thurs. Now I have Fridays to do nothing. Anyone else try this and feel like you got your life back?

Hang on, you're really that dramatic about it? You traded 40 hours for 50 hours and youre calling it a win. Thats not getting your life back, thats just cramming the same misery into fewer days. Youre still working 50 hours a week, just with less recovery time between shifts.

Less recovery between shifts is brutal though @jamiew53, that adds up fast.

Three 12s nearly killed me when I tried it, no joke. I think the real problem is that your body doesn't adapt to that schedule like people claim it does. I ended up crashing hard after about six weeks and my work quality went way down. The extra day off was nice on paper but I was too wrecked to even enjoy it most of the time.
