I worked at a company that had these and was initially excited about it, but my experience ended up matching yours. The "real" work is planned as if these days don't exist, so I spent all of them on my regular duties so I wouldn't slip deadlines. One day a week was never enough to make significant progress on anything interesting anyway.
