      It depends on how much you practice disconnecting. I found that working 4 day weeks allows me disconnect almost immediately every weekend.

      Disconnection is not really a vacation issue per-se, it’s a work-life balance issue that can’t be solved if you spend the overwhelming amount of you waking time working.

        4 day work week is fantastic you have time for the dentist, library books and everything else so easily 😍 and you’re right, for me at least, the holidays started like on day one!

          four-day work weeks are great. guaranteed one day off M-F to get to appointments and other stuff that has to be done ‘during the day, during the week’… but the biggest bonus, perhaps, is one less day commuting each week; that’s 20% less time and expense traveling to-and-from work.

        Ugh, every time I’ve tried that, its gone from 4 ten hour days to 5 tens. Once it went from 4 tens to 3 tens and 2 twelves.
