How great/awful would six-hour workdays be?

On July 1, a Swedish city will begin experimenting with six-hour workdays for eight hours of pay. If full-time workers can be efficient and get all their work done in six hours, the test could be expanded to other parts of the country, according to the Washington Post. Like or dislike this idea for your own workforce?

I can see both sides. It would be great to have two more hours to do what I want in every day. But it would be pretty hard to get everything done and the stress of making sure everything gets done in that time could add up.

Actually, when I think about it, we are already only getting about six hours of work out of of a lot of our employees who are getting paid for 8-hour days! O:)
