I basically do the same. I work 4 days a week and I feel that I'm not really less productive. The fact that I have one day per week off, gives me a reason to procrastinate less and do more with the time I have.

I remember the time from an old job, were most employees did nearly nothing on Friday afternoons. They were burned out from the week and waited until the time was up to finally go home.

I work 4-day weeks for a few years now and I can say that I don't want to change this anytime soon. Having more time for friends and family makes me much more happy than a bit more money. And of course, I feel much more relaxed on Mondays since every weekend is a "long weekend".

I observed a similar productivity drop on Friday afternoons, although in my devops-y team it's mostly due to reluctance to deploy any changes right before the weekend.
