I work a four day work-week (30 hours) and anecdotally my total output is just fine. I generally spread the work over five days, but I often work so few hours in a day that I'm excited to get back to work the next day. It's nice to have that feeling day-in day-out

My observation is a fair number of people are doing this informally.

Spend Friday morning wrapping up the week, making to-dos for the next week, no meetings, minimal email, and generally shutdown for the day by lunchtime.

This isn't so different from lots of offices, except that instead of hanging out the rest of the day at the office chatting and generally getting no work done, you can do the shit you need to get done around the house, so you can actually enjoy the weekend.
