this is exactly what I thought when I read this. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the whole idea of a 4-day work week is that we can get all our work done in 4 days and then essentially have a 3-day weekend. It's a 3-days off thing, not an extra day to work on things you couldn't do in the other 4 days. Plus his status as a freelancer already puts him in a different class of people that has full control over their hours. I believe the 4-day work week movement is targeted to people that HAVE to work 5 days because they are working full-time for a company that mandates 5 days of work.
