> If we go to four day, well eventually wouldn't Thursday become the lazy, weekend mindset day?

Why would it necessarily be Monday through Thursday? Why not Monday-Tuesday, Wednesday off, Thursday-Friday, for example? So you're only ever working 2 days in a row, instead of 4.

Is it really a "weekend mindset", or is it more a 5th day in a row mindset?

So this is referenced in a way (tailored for 5d week) in CGP Grays video:

I actually did this for a couple months with permission from my boss. It went well, but at the end of it I was talking with my SO and they said that it was nice but they also rarely got to see me. They worked on Wednesday and I didn’t, and I worked on Saturday and they didn’t so we basically only saw each other on Sunday.

Just my 2c. If I was single I would almost certainly work Weekend Wednesday.

When I did a schedule like this, I much preferred the mid weekday off versus the Friday.
