Back when I worked for someone else, I switched to part time after I had been there several years. I would work Mon, Tues, Thurs and got paid 60% of my previous salary. I was more productive than ever and came to the office having thought through things and ready to type it out.

I also didn't notice the drop in salary because I had time to repair things and didn't "buy" progress in hobbies. I also had time to design things for work while sitting in a convertible by a lake rather than a drab office. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Sometimes I wish I could do the same thing working for myself but the situation is different.

The only tough part was not having time to socialize with coworkers. They would take breaks and talk about things but I felt my time was so precious that I wanted to get my work done.

This does seem nice, but if I'm being honest with myself if I was only working 3/5 of the time for 3/5 of the pay, the last thing I'd be doing in a convertible by the lake was work. :)

M/T/H does seem better than M/T/W or M/W/F though.
