Already done in 1789 it seems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Republican_calendar

Don't tell him it was a French idea, especially during a time where rulers were beheaded, he wouldn't like it.
Hey folks!
Imagine if we had 10-day weeks instead of 7-day weeks. Wouldn't it be great to have a 3-on, 1-off, 4-on, 2-off schedule or a 3-on, 2-off, 2-on, 3-off schedule?
And the calendar would be much simpler. It could have eleven 30-day months and a final twelfth month of 30+ days to include extra days to match the solar year.
I invite you to imagine this together at https://TenDayWeekCalendar.com
I used Bolt.new to vibe-code this web app.
It lets you connect your Google Calendar & Tasks and Microsoft To Do so you can see how your plans fit into 10-day weeks.
And if you are a freelancer or a person who works at any convenient time, then perhaps you will want to live and work by this calendar. ;-)
Have fun!
P.S. Let's ask President Trump to replace the outdated Gregorian calendar with this one. ;-)
The school I went to had an 8 day week. Well, really an 8 day schedule of classes. So if you started Monday on day 1, the next Monday was day 6 and Wednesday was day 1 again, and so on.
Confused the hell out of new kids.
