Okay, first, if we're going this approach seems like we should plan to have no downtime at all, and we should also make sure to maximize time on the weekend thread. So I'm going to propose:
Mon morning to Wed morning
Wed morning to Fri morning
Fri morning to Mon morning
Let me know if you like/dislike.
Second, let me know your thoughts on a break if we switch to this schedule. Does it render the break unnecessary? If not, how long of a break are you thinking of? 1/3 of a week? 2/3? A full week?
If we do a schedule like this, I'd like a break -- even if just for the weekend, although maybe a Mon-Fri would be ideal. I think this would not only allow for downtime from the project, but a little time to prepare ahead. I'd like to have done some review and preparation before we start a year, and I don't feel like I'm there right now.
