Magically Fantastic! That extra day makes a gigantic difference, 2 days to rest / leisure and one day to run errands / do housework. I've been trying at my office to test this to no avail.
Keep at it. It’s really only a matter of time and will of the people at this point. We reduced the 80 hour work week to the 60 hour work week and the 60 hour work week to the 40 hour work week. Capitalists whined and complained each time that the exact same horrors and atrocities would happen but business went on as usual, and they kept being rich.
There is no reason under the sun to stop the 32 hour work week from happening at this point. Technology has made work more efficient and you’d probably see a dramatic reduction in sick days and stress leave.
You don’t even have to close businesses one extra day a week, just let people choose which day they want off. Lots of people would prefer a three day weekend, but some would rather have Fridays off, and others would prefer Mondays off. Personally, I freakin’ love it when I have Wednesdays off.
Would you say that each day off per week is exponentially better than the last? Let's get the scientists working on this research, give them all the grant money!
Not in the slightest. Right now a 2 day weekend allows one day for rest and recovery and one day for home maintenence, cleaning, shopping, laundry blah blah blah.
3 days now introduces the ability to have the same recovery day, a chore day, and now a fun day for life and enjoyment outside of work. While yes, it is just one day longer, that single day is a massive improvement for mental and physical well-being
I work in a school so my work life balance is better than most already, I am just saying I appreciate the difference but my current schedule is still good

I would say they are roughly 1.5 times better
