Nine-80s For some reason, one day off every other week didn’t seem real appealing to me. But this was much easier to work than the four 10s, and my day off was just as enjoyable. The first week, I worked three eight-hour and two 10-hour days. Because my wife didn’t work the two days I worked late, she didn’t have the stress of picking up the kids, making dinner and putting them to bed before I got home. Because they didn’t have to go to the babysitters the next day, my daughters stayed up until I got home. Then, after taking off a Monday, I worked four nine-hour days. My momentum ran out just as it was time to leave and as I was finishing my projects. And I got home in time to spend time with the girls in my life. This was the perfect schedule for me. The days didn’t seem longer. It fit my lifestyle and my work style. If there was a drawback, it’s this: It’s been scientifically proven that four-day weeks are longer than five-day weeks. It has something to do with physics and the energy expended enjoying the extra day off. Well, maybe not. But it feels that way. However, that’s not unique to flex scheduling. I have the same problem the week of Memorial Day.
