chikuru: How to add four hours to your day without bending space-time.
…From which I stole, with permission, this really cool graphic representation of the 3-hour Everyman Schedule.
(The article is a nice short overview, too, with some good and very diverse links. Thanks, chikuru!)

Looks very smart. I'd like to see it superimposed on a regular sleep pattern, to show the differences at a glance.
hah, an 8 hour workday…I still fantasize about those…
schrondingesdog- I work about 4/5 hours per day. It still seems too much to me. I think it's social conditioning that makes us think it's ok to work the best part of the day, for the best years of our lives.
I may be reading the schedule/graphic wrong, but it looks like naps are taken just after lunch, and just after working out. I certainly can't do that.
I also found it surprising there's only 3.5 hours between 2 of the naps (the core and the 6:30am nap). Maybe that's actually better than trying to space the naps out more evenly. At least for me, the time between the core sleep and that first nap is by far the hardest to stay awake. I feel refreshed after an 18 (or so) minute nap, while it's quite hard to wake up after the core.
Nick/Schroedingersdog — Perhaps it’s also social conditioning to call some things “work” and some things not. I know I was taught growing up that people living on small family farms & supporting themselves “worked” a 12+ hour day, but when you look at it, a lot of what they were doing, we wouldn’t really call “work” (especially if women do it, in which case we still call it “unemployment”, even if the work is hard, long and necessary for survival). I know that if I counted my writing as work, I’d look like the world’s craziest workaholic; but to me it’s not work. Does that mean that if I could use it to support myself, I’d be effectively not working? ;)
PD- Yes, it would mean you weren't working.
Try it this way. What I would call the 'acid test' of whether something is work would be this…
Would you still do it if you weren't getting paid?
Y'know I'm right ;)
