An 8 h work day during the winter flies by, but the lunch hour is only long enough for one bite sandwich. On the other hand, 12 h of night is plenty enough for all my hobbies.
In the summer, work devours your entire life and there’s hardly any time to sleep.
Just normalize 4h work days :D
This is exactly what I was thinking. Smaller working hours. Or at least smaller around the peak of summer and winter.
Sounds good to me. In this case, 4 flexible hours of work in the summer means about 6 fixed length hours. In the winter those 4 flexible hours translate to about 2 fixed length hours, so I think I'll have plenty of time for my hobbies.
One can dream of such a beautiful future
