a monday-friday ‘9 to 5’ is actually pretty brutal if you live alone, are a single parent, or your partner also has the same work schedule.

you will find yourself taking a vacation day here and there just to ‘get stuff done’ instead of, ya know, taking a vacation or at least days off to ‘rest’.

if you can get a 4 day schedule (even at 4x10), it helps a lot. saves on commuting too, since it’s 20 percent less of that bullshit (expense and wasted time). swapping a weekday for a weekend day every now and then, if it’s possible, is also an option.
