I enjoy reading, there is this new book / theory called the four day workweek and it quite intriguing, have you ever heard of it?
I heard of it but not quite sure I know all the details. Sounds interesting. What's it all about?
It's when you work only 4 days a week vs 5. So you get 3 day weekends every week. In Japan the did a study and the overall productivity was increased by 40% in this study i saw. 
Oh wow that sounds really good. But do you get to pick which days you work? Like can you pick Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday?
You usually only have to do mon-thurs or tues-friday. It's not 8 hours a day, more like 10 hours a day but only 4 days a week.
Did the book say whether it works for all kinds of industries or does it work best in like blue collar or white collar jobs?
It can be applied to both but im not sure if blue collar would yield the same results. The study in Japan was white collar and it was also done by microsoft but their Japanese subdivision.
I would love to be able to do that but I work in a job where I have to provide summary reports based on the prior day's activity. Not sure I can take a day off even if I work more hours on those 4 days.
oh i see. Yeah that might be very hard to do.
I really like the idea though. I wish I could work for a company that would allow me to do that. It'll be great to always have a 3-day weekend. I could get a lot accomplished if I started a new hobby because I can really focus on it.
