5 Day Week: A Different Interpretation

Here's a simple thought that I believe is seriously worth considering:

365 is perfectly divisible by 5: 365/5 = 73.

If we redefine the week to be 5 days long, and have a holiday to rest after every four days of work, then we have a perfect 73 week year with a perfectly fine work-rest balance.

And every leap year, we have one extra day with a different name at the end of the year (say "leap year day") to adjust for the extra day. And then simply continue with 1st day of the week on 1st January as the year changes.

This seems more consistent to me with the natural cycle of Earth competing one trip around the Sun every 365 days.
