Why the 8 Hour Workday Doesn’t Make Sense

I am currently enjoying this. Work between 25-30 hours, and my salary was reduced by 25%. I am thinking about reducing it more and working less hours.

It is quite tricky though. You want to work 4 hours a day for someone, not 6, because by the time you are done with 6 you usually need a transition period and before you know it you are feeling tired.

I agree. I started contracting recently. At first I imagined getting 7-8 hours of billable work in every day. The reality is I've been able to do 4 - 5 hours of billable work every day before feeling burnt out and a bit crazy.
