Four-day week means 'I don't waste holidays on chores'

I had a 32-hour/week contract position for a while. I'm pretty sure I was within a rounding error of productivity for full time.

The biggest thing about working fewer hours was I could shift my days around to optimize for tasks. When I sat down to write code, I was in the zone to write code.

I think some of this is because other people are working on your day off. Like if you're awaiting feedback (or code review), you find yourself aiming to enable all those people you're waiting on to do that stuff on your day off.

If they also worked 4 days a week, I bet productivity would fall.
