I only work 3 days a week during the summer. The rest of the week, I'm offline and enjoying time with my kids.
Briefly

A digital director adapted their work schedule to accommodate their children during the summer. They negotiated a three-day work week with their boss while ensuring that their responsibilities were met. The contractor’s proven track record of meeting deadlines facilitated this arrangement. The new schedule allows them to spend two days a week with their kids, reinforcing the importance of family time. Communication with the team about the new schedule was crucial, ensuring that work continued smoothly without resentment or loss of pay for the adjusted hours.
I simply asked my boss for an accommodating schedule and he agreed, allowing me to work only three days a week in the office.
After that, I had to inform the rest of the team of my new schedule, which I announced at the next management meeting.
As long as everything gets done, my boss agreed that I could reduce my schedule to three days this summer.
Being home with my kids during the summer is worth it; I get two days home with my kids, plus holidays and weekends.
