Well here in Japan there’s a mix of 5 day work weeks, 6 day work weeks, and 7 day work weeks. A 4 day work week would be impossible here. Even on national holidays people go to work. Those who work excessively often do it from their own choice.

I have two jobs and work 6 days a week.

I don’t know if I would go for 4 days and less salary. As a Father that would not be wise. We are working hard to also save for our kids’ future.

From a productivity standpoint I can see that a shorter workday (6 hours) would be great. But again- salary issue for me.

Personally I’d just like to have a long nap after lunch.
