Would you rather 4 really busy days and 3 days off, or 6 mildly busy days and 1 day off a week?

4 busy days without a doubt

NiamhNaomh · 16/09/2018 13:26

4 days

Four and three without question. I would hate six non busy days. I prefer to get on and get done, then have time to do my own thing.

4 and 3.

TheFaerieQueene · 16/09/2018 13:28

4 days

4 days with a proper 3 day weekend.

I'd hate doing non busy days at work, I get bored and find things to do. So 4 days.

Elephantinacravat · 16/09/2018 17:58

4 and 3 for sure.

sprinkleofsunshine · 16/09/2018 17:58

4 and 3. 4 days that will fly by and 3 whole days off.

iklboo · 16/09/2018 17:59

4 days. I'm thinking of asking work if I can condense my hours to do that.

midnight1983 · 16/09/2018 17:59

I have worked the 4 busy and three days off and it is definitely preferable to 6 less busy days.

HelenaJustina · 16/09/2018 18:00

4 and 3!

Nacreous · 16/09/2018 18:00

4 and 3

4 and 3

I have 3 crazy days so I can be off with toddler 2 days.
Next September will be 5 easier days.

AnyFucker · 16/09/2018 18:01

Well, the former is what I do and it works for me

I have to spend some of my free time "recuperating" from the intensity though

fussychica · 16/09/2018 18:07

4 and 3, that's what I used to do before I retired. Worked for me.

esk1mo · 16/09/2018 18:10

i’ve done the 6 + 1 and its horrible, even though the days aren’t hectic busy. you still have to get to/from work, take meals with you.

4 on 3 off is much better

BillywigSting · 16/09/2018 18:13

4 and 3.

Like pp I have done 6 and 1 and it's dire.

4 and 3 is actually quite nice, feels like a long weekend every week and you get to properly recharge and get loads done

mostdays · 16/09/2018 18:20

The former.

iMatter · 16/09/2018 19:02

4 and 3 definitely

And busy days whizz by
