This is, perhaps naively, assuming that employers wouldn't just increase the number of days you're working. Weeks are now 10 days long, and you work for 7 of them.
I tried to pick ratios that wouldn't cause riots in the streets, haha. Interestingly, 7-3 is still less work overall than the current standard 5-2. I could get behind a 3-1-4-2 system.
It's not an actual 4 day work week, but I've been working 4 tens in the format of 1-1-3-2, and it's been great. Turns out Monday isn't all that bad, when you have another day off immediately after
