I shifted my work schedule to fit mostly into a 4-day week. Now I devote Fridays to my side hustle.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Priyanka Jain, an internal communications coordinator at British design firm

Arup had announced Work Unbound, and I was using this to go to the post office and get my packaging together for my business — things like that — without always having to time it with my lunch hour. So I thought about having one day a week where I could work on my business but not sacrifice my work, and I asked if I could work longer hours — Monday to Thursday and then have Friday basically off.

I'm still working this schedule today. I use the extra time to wrap up work and do things while it's relatively quiet and not everyone is logged on. It's also like a payoff; I want to work hard Mondays through Thursdays to have flexibility on Fridays.
