I did work it and what I did was that I pulled those two free days together so I had Friday the first week off then the weekend and then Monday the next week. So every second weekend was a very long 4 day weekend.

It changed to very positive, I was much much more relaxed, I used it to travel during the long weekends, not every time but regularly. Other than that I used it to just spent more time with my hobbies like music and photography and the gym, oh and also cooking at home.

I think it was way more worth to me than the 20% pay cut, I didn’t even feel the pay cut but I felt so much freedom with those long weekends.
