The 11-day week can be split two ways:

Method A: 8 workdays, then 3 days off work as a weekend.
Method B: 4 workdays, 1 day off, 4 workdays, 2 days off.

The first method is much more prevalent, and is considered more 'serious'/'responsible'/'stable', while the second method is primarily associated with freelancers, people in dangerous professions etc., even though this isn't always so. Some city-states actually live by Method B overall, but they're a minority.
