I switched to a 30 hour, 4 day week a few years back. It's a 20% pay cut but a 50% rise in days off, and has felt like a good trade off.

Physicians often work 12-hour shifts. Less productivity is better for everyone since it is measured by how many patients they see.

I'm actually thinking I should propose that, but without the 10-hour-day part. A way to ease myself into retirement.

I got fed up in January. Said kiss my a$$ and retired. Less disposable income now, but I have never been happier in my life.

Our office allows 9 days (80 hours) worked over 2 weeks ( 1 pay period) in addition to the 4x10 schedule.
For groups that require a lot of coverage, individuals are assigned days throughout the week that rotate throughout the year. They are staffed at 90% on every work day.
For groups that don't require as much coverage most people take Friday off, so every Friday only 50% of the staff is present.
The 50% that is there has a lot of uninterrupted time on Fridays to really crank out projects, plus they usually leave an hour early so as to cap at 80 hours.

I had a 9 x 4 week. Had Fridays off was great. I took two weeks of vacation one day at time, every Monday for July and August and Friday to Monday off, for the summer and I living neat the ocean. I used my vacation budget on front row concert tickets and sine short travel. Was a summer to remember

Dyscarnate - Nothing Seems Right[^]
This track is actually a favorite from last year, but I don't think it ever made it to SOTW.
There was always another track that I liked better in that particular week.
However, a year later, I'm still listening to Dyscarnate.
This week I've been listening to this particular song a lot and I think it finally deserves a spot in the SOTW!
It has a bit of a psychedelic vibe going on, in a technical death metal kind of way.
The video is pretty cool too

Pretty sweet though.

Postulate ?

Well done, sir! That was quicker than I expected.
POST = message
+ U = you texted
+ LATE = after due date
= POSTULATE = advance.

I worked it out but was ( and still am ) dubious about postulate meaning advance.

"Advance" in the sense of "Propose" would be a synonym of "Postulate"

Not at all, I can postulate a theory or I can advance it.
First result for "postulate synonym" on Google gives advance as the third option:
postulate
verb
/ˈpɒstjʊleɪt/
1.
suggest or assume the existence, fact, or truth of (something) as a basis for reasoning, discussion, or belief.
"his theory postulated a rotatory movement for hurricanes"
synonyms: put forward, suggest, advance, posit, hypothesize, take as a hypothesis, propose, assume, presuppose, suppose, presume, predicate, take for granted, theorize
"such hypotheses have been postulated by highly reputable geologists"
