Ask HN: 6-hour workdays more important than 4-day workweeks IMO
by high_byte on Hacker News.
Standard work hours here is 9am-6pm, so 9 hours and I used to stay 10+ hours in the office often. before covid was another hour commute daily which meant pretty much not having any sun. New girl at work has a kid and told me she thought it was crazy staying past 3-4pm, and it dawned on me how right she is. pretty much everyone finished working by 7pm – many stores, restaurants are already closed before I even had a chance. Also after 6 hours the effectiveness or quality of work declines. I got nothing against 4 day workweeks – I myself work part time, but I rather work 2-4 hours for even 6 days a week and I’d like to see this approach more popularized. Anyone else feels like this?
