Not all "weekends" have to be at the end of the week. You can have a weekend Wednesday and be able to recharge every 2 days without having to wait for 4 full days before your next weekend.
My overall output was reasonably similar to that of a 5 day week because I came at work with a waay better attitude. It also made it easier to plan 2 days of work instead of 5. I also spent a chunk of my Wednesday thinking about work and how to tackle the next two days.
That meant I could without guilt take the weekend entirely off and not even think about work at all.
Just want to point out that Ideally you shouldn't feel the need to think about work on either of your free days. Wednesday or weekend.
