Ideally, though? Give me 3 or 4 5-6-hour days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-length-of-your-ideal-work-day-andor-work-week#post-211449 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 11:40:25 +0000 LinzR 211449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take more days off for longer workdays. I can work a flex schedule, so I opted for 4 10 hour days so I can be off Friday, Saturday and Sunday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-length-of-your-ideal-work-day-andor-work-week#post-207003 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 19:07:53 +0000 mrs. wagon 207003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my 4 day work week but I'm REALLY looking forward to a 3 day work week again after my maternity leave. I'm hoping to do Tues thru Thurs. I work 8 hours a day but it would be nice to do 6. That way we wouldn't have to rush for daycare dropoff in the morning, and I could cook dinner every night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-length-of-your-ideal-work-day-andor-work-week#post-206866 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 16:27:33 +0000 MrsBrewer 206866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I change my answer to.......anything shorter than what it currently is and I will be happy :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-length-of-your-ideal-work-day-andor-work-week#post-206865 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 16:26:52 +0000 dnmommy 206865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i like the 4 day work week 6 hours a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-length-of-your-ideal-work-day-andor-work-week#post-206831 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 15:46:21 +0000 LuLu Mom 206831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I could choose my schedule I would do a Tuesday - Thursday work week, working 30 hours (10 hour days.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-length-of-your-ideal-work-day-andor-work-week#post-206827 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 15:42:56 +0000 Modern Daisy 206827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it would increase productivity if companies allowed employees who work out to have 6 hour days, even if it's only twice a week. I think it's too hard for most of us to get in a workout before or after work on an 8 hour schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-length-of-your-ideal-work-day-andor-work-week#post-206776 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 15:06:36 +0000 rachiecakes 206776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I returned from maternity leave I worked 8am to 1:30pm and it was perfect. I got a lot done and was home to feed and take a nap with DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-length-of-your-ideal-work-day-andor-work-week#post-206751 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 14:46:09 +0000 Cole 206751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting that so many people want four 6 hour days, that was exactly what I was thinking.

Then we could have coffee in the morning, and a leisurely lunch.</p> <p>It'd also be great if there were a 4 day work week. Plus if pigs could fly.</p> <p>What's the length of your ideal work day and/or work week? </p>
