Re: 4-day work week, I run an education non-profit and adopted new business hours: Monday 12pm to Friday 12pm to address the "Sunday night blues" that many of us felt and to give people a head start on their weekend. We thought this would be good for people's mental health and speculated that these might be the two periods of the week with lowest productivity. In practice, we often work through those hours anyway, but it definitely created a little space and slack in our otherwise hard-charging work culture

With "Block" scheduling more common these days, I think it could be done (or at least every other week you get three days. It might mean longer classes during the other four days because current public education rules specify "hours in class" as a metric for student success. Kind of a lame one but so be it.
