I wonder if someday we’ll have a “monthend”, where most of society takes a whole week off at the end of a month. I think I’d like this better than a 4 day work week. People could come back truly rested.

With the shift to AI, it could happen.

You'll work more and they'll pocket the difference, as it's been the case for every advances in the last 50 years.

I'd be inclined to agree with you if every vacation I've ever taken hasn't left me less excited to come back to work.

And work all 3 weeks?

Nah, I'll keep my Friday's off.

We could all work 5 day/2day off, 4 weeks, and whatever was left at the end of the month? Time off.

The variability would be fun. Sometimes it would be a 5 day weekend even.
