Is an alternative to a traditional workweek that increases the number of hours per day and decreses the number of days worked.

Compressed workweek.

Explanation:

A compressed workweek is an example of an alternative schedule of five-days working by increasing the no. of hours worked and decreasing the no. of days worked. Four nine-hour working days is an example of this type of schedule contrary to the traditional five eight-hour days. This strategy is employed by employers to attract employes with three offs in a week. On the surface level as it seems highly beneficial to both the parties as it reduces the commute timings of the employes, keeps the work in pace and helps to make better work and life balance but these longer working hours may be stressful and consequently, productivity may suffer.

free time is when all my homework and chores have been done for the day and i am "free" to do things that i enjoy doing.

usually i spend time watching television. as my favorite tv shows come on at specific times, i make sure that i finish my homework and chores well before the shows. otherwise i will have to miss them. mostly i manage to watch the shows but sometimes extra homework or chores may cause me to miss a show or two, but it is rare. anyhow if i know that i am definitely not able to catch a show in time, i will just set the video recorder to tape the show sothe evening when the weather is fine, i sometimes go for a stroll around the neighborhood with my friends. this is the time when most the neighbors have come home from work or school. we say hello to those whom we know. they are mostly friendly people and they acknowledge our greetings. once in a while we come upon unfriendly neighbors but we just ignore them and carry on. that i can watch it later.

what are your options ?

i would say years or cherry blossoms
