This is a tangent, but you ever think about how arbitrary the week structure is? Like, if weeks were 6 or 8 days long, it would be a big shift in work-life balance regardless of how you split the days up. But thousands of years ago we decided on 7 and it just kind of stuck.

Assuming 8 hour days, here are some different splits for on and off:

3 on 1 off: working 25% of the time
5 on, 2 off: working 23.8% of the time
4 on, 2 off: working 22.2% of the time
5 on 3 off: working 20.8% of the time
4 on 3 off: working 19.0% of the time
