(even though I often prefer to do 4x 10 hr days instead of 5x 8 hr days, it is still nice to be able to wfh so much of the time).
I too have found that "out Monday pm / back Wednesday night" cuts down on client travel expenses significantly. Breaking the Monday am / Thursday pm mould reduced the average weekly travel expense for my last client from the $1,600 to the $900 range. Multiply that by five people each week and it's quite a savings!
