So, the conclusion is that a 2-day workweek is more productive than a 5-day one?
More seriously, I agree that intense work on some days, and freeing your mind to produce ideas on another day, is much better than trying to have a mix of intense work and planning and meetings and whatever every day. That way, each day has a different flavor, and you are not constantly interrupted by the clock.
More specifically − 2 days of ~100% really intense work is more productive than 5 days where I don’t manage to get in much deep work. The schedule is mostly set up to protect my ability to do deep work while still doing the other things I have to do

Yeah, I fully agree with that, and it’s great that you have the option to set up your schedule accordingly.
