When I was single, I worked M-Tu, F-Sa, 10 hr days. It was awesome having two days off during the week, plus Sunday off. Plus...you're never working more than 2 days in a row.
Now I work M-F, but come in early and leave early. I also buy 40 extra hours PTO at the time of open enrollment, and it costs me 40 hours of my hourly at the time I sign up. That cost is then divided by 26 and deducted from each paycheck. Basically I voluntarily take a 1.9% paycut for more time off.
Work-life balance, if possible, and if encouraged by your employer, is super awesome.
