Probably depends on the work and your endurance level. I used to do 12 hour warehouse work Saturday/Sunday over summer vacation in college while I played video games and hung out with friends the rest of the week. It felt freaking amazing. Three days in a row might’ve been pushing it, especially in my later 30s.

But considering I’ve done intense development work for 12 hour sessions over 3-5 days, having had 4 days off instead of 2 would have certainly delayed or prevented my inevitable crash of burnout.

Anything they can do to distract the population from all the government corruption. They learned it from Trump. And the panama papers. Overwhelm people with problems and they lose the ability to focus on any one of them.
