Just normalize 4h work days :D

Sounds good to me. In this case, 4 flexible hours of work in the summer means about 6 fixed length hours. In the winter those 4 flexible hours translate to about 2 fixed length hours, so I think I'll have plenty of time for my hobbies.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Smaller working hours. Or at least smaller around the peak of summer and winter.
