I am doing 3-day work week (plus a day of studying) per week, so roughly equal, and it has worked great. You're more focused at work, and you get a lot of time to think about problems before having to sit down and do it.

Right now I'm working Wednesday through Friday, but if I had a choice of four days I would have Wednesdays off. The extra day in the middle to take some time off and thing about other things and get back with a new perspective worked very well for me when I had the opportunity, better than the concentrated block.

Right now I'm doing three days in a row because my boss thinks it's easier to communicate that way, and I guess he is right too, it's a trade-off.

Interesting approach on taking Wednesday off. I'm thinking of working M-TH with Friday off to allow for 3-day weekends for visiting family out of town.
I actually do T,W,Th or last 3 days of the week.

It helps with my clients to do their other work in the start of the week.
