Once in awhile I have this recurring thought about improving one’s personal life, but keeping work/business life the same (esp, if everyone converts.)

Everyone needs to work. Some less than others and some more than others. But, we ALL need extra personal time. Although, some crazy people like to use their personal time to work as well.

I am a workaholic. Really, I am. You can ask anyone that knows me well, they could tell you the same thing. But after years and years of sitting on my butt in front of the computer, I want to get detached from my machines. Don’t get me wrong now, I love what I do. It’s creative and challenging at the same time and pays pretty well pretty much.

SO, my thinking is (esp. since I work so much per day anyways):

Why couldn’t people have 4 work days and 3 weekend days? If people put 10 hours per work day, then those extra hours could take the place of one work day. Thus, creating a free day to be used however one sees fit.

I would gladly do the 10 hr days. Heck, I do them already. Can’t you just imagine having 4 work days AND the best part -> 3 WEEKEND DAYS. You can have longer vacations and more time to just goof off. I know some jobs have flex time already which is similar, but I am talking about everyone! If all businesses adapt to 4 workdays, then everyone could be happier!

The only drawback, I believe, is that this would have to be signed off by almost ALL industries. But, I may have to think about this issue a bit later since I haven’t had my chai latte fix yet.

What do you think?
