Would you rather have five-hour workdays or four-day workweeks?

@chris_sarca Yeah, I feel ya. I'm torn, as I do feel 5 power hours can be so productive at times as well!

@simplytedel Interesting, would this be 6 hours straight, or with a break? How would you best use day 7 to recover and be fully energized for the next week?

@irina_haupt That decision is to be made by a person's boss, not by me. In any case, I would go for one or two breaks, included in those six hours. That way, a business could have two shifts, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. and it could possibly be more productive than one that works from 9 to 5 only. I am aware this can't work for some businesses, like bars.

@simplytedel Yes, a shift model would give a lot of people the ability to structure their day in a way that works for them.

@amiefinlayson Yes, I think meetings might turn out to be a killer on 5-hour workdays. Generally, I think this could work for teams that are very eager on asynchronous updates instead of meetings. What do you think?

@mimih_arteaga Totally! It definitely varies by day/week for me as well. I certainly wouldn't want to ruin a perfect flow just because the clock tells me that my 5-hour workday is over, then there are days where I am like "Okay brain, it was fun while it lasted.". Same goes for the week, right? Some weeks are just so productive that you can't wait for the next week to start, and then there are other weeks where I can't wait for them to end and to start with a fresh brain the next week.

@ronan_hardy Why is that? :)

@magistratejohn Yes, I would have to agree with you and this would also be my biggest worry. At the same time it would be so hard to squeeze in meetings without interrupting those power hours.
