I've found working 10 hours per day, 4 days a week, with 3 consectuve days off best for heavy labor/construction.
Mon Tues + Thursday Fri best for service (waiting/valet) to break to monotony and dread of 5 days in a joint.
The 5 day workweek was scientifically calculated to be the best for the owners/boss by Ford in early 1900's, but imo (and many others) not best for the employees state of mind.
5 days is miserable and weekends feel like a "intensive recovery" instead of a 2 days vacation when I do construction and 5 days feels like suicidal depression when I do service jobs.
I'm very happy with 4 days a week doing contruction right now at 10 hours a day, once in a while I throw in a 5th day (without overtime time as agreed to) for some extra cash for 4-8 hours.
I ahve nothing to godo to say about five days a week. Fuck it.
3 days a week (which I tried) makes the other 4 days boring as hell in construction; however, doing (example): Monday Tuesday *break* *break* Friday (16 hours) (break*break) at 12 hours 12 hours, 16 hours in service makes it really enjoyable and better to cater to my customers.
