I think it's clear the way you get through it is be glad you only have to work 10x4

My wife works from home and has the discipline for it (though she never turns her job off and works until midnight pretty often, getting up at 4:30am to go the gym...she's a freak). I could never do it. I just find too many other things that need doing around our house and lack the discipline for it. I can put in a couple of hours of freelance or "take home" work a night and maybe a few hours on the weekends, but I couldn't work a full 8 hours from home.

That's my schedule.

M-Th
5:00 am - 3:30 pm

I can't see the pic, but I wasn't saying I can't do 10 hours every day, I just can't take my lunch break after 9 hours of the 10 hour shift.

"Hey, you and your wife didn't build that business" :p Glad to see that you are taking advantage of our free market of capitalism. Too bad you are in the crosshairs though by you know who:rolleyes:

I would rather work 10x6 for the money, not even joking.

Just I realized today (and every other day when I used to be an 8-hour shifter when I was working OT), when it gets to about 2 pm I wonder wtf I'm still doing there and then time goes slow as crap. Almost like the last hour took just as long as the first 7.

4x10's is cake. I work 4x12 in this damn heat and still wouldn't trade it for 5x8. Having a 3 day weekend is more than worth it.

In the spring and summer we take no breaks. Not even 15 minutes for coffee. We go go go and the day flies by.

Oh: afternoon coffee ritual usually helps me out. I usually make a french press at work around 2:00 or 2:30. The ritual of the press calms and renews me, and the caffeine powers me through the remainder of the day and into the evening work time (when I switch to wine once the kids go to bed).

I did 4x10;s and loveed it
but I had no real boss, was a consultant, really lucky if I did an 8 hour day
also did a 3x12 4x12 night shift
never new where I was supposed to be

It was difficult to get into a healthy routine at first and did take a lot of discipline to make it work, but, over time, it's increased my quality of life.
I cut out an hour and a half of commuting per day (plus the related work expenses), and I’ve been able to use that time for exercise or general household maintenance. I also get more "work" done due to the lack of distractions.
It’s been great for me but I guess it’s not for everyone.

9/80 here

Mon-thurs 7-4:30 (9hrs) Fri 7-330 (8hrs)


Following week it goes


Mon-Thurs 7-430 (9hrs) Fri Off




........every other Friday off is the shit.

I work 4x10 and I love it. I will avoid working 5x8 again if I possibly can.

I like splitting the day so I'm through the majority of it before you take lunch, but being through 90% of it is extreme.

This is the goal.
