It often feels like there are only 3 productive hours in typical American white collar work day.

What if we just cut out the rest?

    3 hours a day wouldn’t be that useful. You still have to “be” somewhere 5 days a week.

    What is useful; I did this for a few years; 3 x 8hr days. Mon - Wed, normal work hours, and a 4 day weekend. No need for “public holidays” even paid time off becomes less relevant, when you can switch one week to Wed - Fri. Leaving Thur - Tue as a “normal” way to take time off, giving a 6 day weekend possible every second week.

      Everyone cant have all the same days off, there is already divide between service and shift workers and everyone else, a longer weekend would make it worse. The time off has to be spread around ant Holidays do need to exirt to make a real exception.
