But, it may be better to do a 3 day, 2 day cycle of 8 hour shifts. Less commutes means less wasted fuel.

There have been all kinds of proposals in the past. The technocrats proposed a 4 hour/4 day work schedule spread throughout the week among different teams on different days so that production and traffic flow remain constant and in sync with societies needs.

Maybe even one 12-hour day? That would be just one commute.

The 40-hour work week is outmoded. We could start gradually. Say make every Friday a 4-hour day.
