It honestly adds so much to work life balance and health. I typically work enough hours to take off Friday every other week, but I've been having to work overtime lately. There's so much to do on the weekends. It's nice to actually have a day where you can relax.

I miss work from home. I miss 3 day weekends. I miss work-life balance.
I see lots of posts here of people who work from home and want that for myself. Unfortunately hard to find.
Glad you enjoyed the extra day off!
Thank you! Sorry to hear you don't have those, those are definitely harder to find nowadays.
All good. :)
Need more holidays for everyone to enjoy.
I try and avoid taking jobs for monday and friday as much as possible so 3 - 4 day weekends are somewhat regular thing for me. Benefits of being self-employed.
They are great! If we got them I always wonder if we'd just get used to them and need 4 days
compressed 4-day workweek has been a game changer for me
