Time is a much more valuable asset than money, although I don't disagree that we've been conditioned to think otherwise.

Again, in a white-collar office environment you can usually do that. It's a little harder on a construction site, for instance, where people are working to a schedule that will have a significant knock-on effect to other people being able to do their jobs.
Generally speaking, I agree with the notion that the current work-life balance isn't much of a balance. To implement something like this universally would take a major shift in staff planning and scheduling productivity well beyond 'doing it tomorrow'.
Good for Sweden for trying this out.
