I'm not trying to disagree with the article here, but I have worked very short weeks before... and for me I found that 4 days off makes it really hard to be productive. You're away for so long that you don't even feel like you are a part of the company. Sometimes I would nearly forget to go to work, it was so much time off. I would say 4 days (maybe with less hours) is a much better schedule.

Perhaps a longer period would work better here. Maybe 6 days a fortnight (say 3/1/3/7?) or even 12 days in a month (say 4/2/4/2/4/12?) so you feel more continuity during work, but also get regular periods that feel like proper holidays.
