This is on point, I'm Megna Chakrabardi.

Five days, 40 hours a week.

The conventional work schedule, though I know for many of you that's not the schedule

you work at all.

You might do three-twelves, you might do 60 hours or over six days, you might not have

the same schedule week to week because you're gig working.

So yes, how we work is pretty varied.

But let's accept that in many sectors that five day, 40 hour work week is still pretty

standard.

After all, it is the basis of how we define full-time employment.

So is it time to do away with it all together?

What would life be like if a normal work week were only four days long?

I'm just so grateful that I've been able to have like this extra day to do what I want

to do and what I need to do.

That extra day during the week gives you a lot of time to do your errands, you know,

doctors appointments, which are almost impossible to get sometimes, paying bills and all that

sort of thing.

I'm spending more time with my wife because I've got that extra day off, which is, I mean,

who could ask for more than that, really?
