Definitely 4 days with 8 h work.

There are two types of jobs: those that require early mornings or a high level of stress; and then there are those that require a continuous process or long-term gains. For the first, the fewer days the better, for the second, the fewer hours a day the better.
5 days with 8 hours of work :)

5 day 8 hours a day😄

An intriguing question! Personally, I'd lean towards a 5-day workweek with 6-hour days. Here's why: Work-life Balance: Shorter workdays can potentially lead to a better work-life balance. Six hours would allow for focused, productive bursts while still leaving ample time in the day for personal activities, hobbies, or downtime. Sustained Energy: Spreading the work over five days with shorter durations can prevent burnout and keep energy levels more consistent throughout the week. Flexibility: Having a 5-day schedule aligns better with the traditional workweek, making collaboration easier with others who might be on a regular schedule. It also offers more flexibility for scheduling meetings, appointments, or handling tasks that require regular business hours. Consistent Routine: A daily routine can help maintain a rhythm and build habits. A 5-day workweek can offer that consistent structure, while the shorter hours give it a fresh twist. However, it's essential to note that individual preferences and job requirements play a significant role in this choice. What works best for one person might not be the same for another. The key is to find a balance that maximises both productivity and personal well-being. 🕰️⚖️
@narendra_solanki great points, I agree with the work-life balance one! Also, if one is doing job that they re truly passionate about, it is even better for the well-being:)

4 days with 8h work day for sure. Having extended weekends sound really attractive.

I choose to work whenever I want 😅 The most important thing is to deliver within deadlines.

4 days 8 hours! Then the rest of the days are just FREE!

in my case, it's better to get into the flow and complete all tasks within 3 days with 12 hours each

5 days with 6 hour is better!

I will go with 5 days 6h workday. Here is my reason: - It will help me spread my activities - I will have more planning time. - It will help me be more interested in the process of the work than in just getting it done.
I am into longer weekends, 4 days with 8h 💫

I would choose 4 days with 8h work day. Why? Work-Life Balance: If you prioritize having more free time for personal activities, relaxation, and family, the 4-day workweek might be more appealing. With longer workdays but an extra day off, you can have extended weekends and potentially better work-life balance.

I will go with 6 days with 6 hours of work , it maintains our consistency and habit to work daily

Hard to say. For me, this really depends on the type of work to be done.
