Someone with apparently more random knowledge than I have told me that the 9-5 workday was originally designed for 8 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep, and 8 hours of free time.
My workday this year is 14 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep, 1 hour of running, and 1 hour of free time. Sky's the limit on this hour of free time though. I can eat something, call my family, do laundry, or even take a shower.
If the eight hours of work was not only your job, but housework, laundry and church callings, I think I could see this model working.
