Odd that they're not more clear. Do they mean just getting a day off, or moving to 4 10-hour days?
The typical worker screws around half the day. So, it's pretty easy to just skip a day and yet still be as productive for the entire week - in the short term. Just screw around less each day. This study was only for 8 weeks.
The big question is, once people get used to the 4-day week, do they go back to their previous screw-around levels, thereby decreasing total production? I'm think that yeah, that's probably what will happen.
