I submit that doing a job that you like is already enough to make you happy and productive. Trying to boost both with a day less of work is pretty obviously just trying to cure a symptom. I always liked to go to work, even after 22 years of doing basically the same job. I even missed going to work during the pandemic. Just a thought...

I like my job. I like it even more when WFH and even more when doing 4 days of it.

I would step in and do the work you are not doing on the 5th day. We will see how employers deal with this. "I want to work from home, and I want to work less", lets see if this works out for you people...

Why not on 6th and 7th as well? Or after hours? Where will you stop?
Look, it works for me. I work Mon-Thu and work from home. My employer deals with it just fine. They have a happy employee and pay a day less a week as well. It's all about communication and organisation at the end. I see a lot of jobs that could be optimised to be done in less than 9-5 five days a week.
