When they get older and go off on their own, though, I would agree with you - a short daily working routine sounds good for me personally.
Meanwhile in China... Excerpts below taken from the website https://996.icu/#/en_US What is "996"? 996 working, ICU waiting. A "996" work schedule refers to an unofficial work schedule (9a.m. ~ 9p.m., 6 days a week) that has been gaining in popularity. Serving a company that encourages the "996" work schedule usually means working for at least 60 hours a week. In early September 2016, it was said that 58.com (58同城, a…
Imagine trying to be a bigger piece of shit.
Japan isn’t even 996 & they’re going to have to start forcing people to have kids at gunpoint or kinda implode as a nation. Near purely because of their abysmal work culture.
I recall when Cards Against Humanity paid for their overseas factory workers a day off by paying for a full factory day with a quota of zero or something like that. All they asked was that the workers spend time with family & send a picture if they do anything special.
A ton of heartwarming but also incredibly sad to think about pictures came in, like a family celebrating their very young child’s birthday in a closet of an apartment. Tiny little home baked cupcake with a singular candle.
They wouldn’t have even gotten to celebrate that in the slightest without their day off, paid by foreigners indescribably richer than them that they’ve never met nor likely will meet.

Because why do we work? To have money so that we can live comfortably. Work is not meant to fill in 40 or more hours of our life, it's just a means to and end. If we can have enough money by working less, many people chose this way. In the meantime, in most countries of the world it's not an option: you might need to work much more just to survive. A sad reality and something that I hope changes one day, once the old generations (thinking in terms of nations and wars and not realizing all human beings are mutually interdependent) pass away.
Most super prolific creatives (painters/composers) do a routine of between 1.5 and 3 hour sessions, one or two sessions per day. Depending on the person, but very consistent once the person figures out their routine.
That means 1.5 - 6 hours total. But this doesn’t include meetings and correspondence and all that jazz.
I like to wake early, work a bunch, then take time in the afternoon to do non work stuff.
Then I can come back at the end of the day and do another few hours. This lets me experience the world when things are less crowded, make time for family etc, while still having plenty of time for work.

There are some rich people in the US who endorse 996. Calacanis being one. Imagine trying to be a bigger piece of shit.

I think people with 1 hour commutes would definitely prefer 4 day weeks
Granted I wfh 2/3 days a week; if I had this commute every day I'd probably feel differently.
Some people work on ships and work six months in twelve hour rotation and then be on vacation for six months.
I think people with 1 hour commutes would definitely prefer 4 day weeks
- support remote working
- have better housing closer to where people work
- if people want to commute an hour each way, that's on them
