>I dont believe this is because Im special in any way, I just think people slack off and generally lose too much time at work.

I can't speak for other people, but I think this is highly dependent on the person and job. I know a score of people who put in a solid 50+ hours at one job. Congrats to you if you have found 3 different jobs that require 2 hours/day.

Do you have noncompetes or employment contracts with each company? If so, how did you navigate this?

I don't have noncompetes, and all three jobs deal with software development but in completely different industries. Ethically I wouldn't work for two competing companies.

I agree there are tech jobs that are way more demanding, its true that I may have found good situations. I think theres also some truth to the fact that if you put your phone on do not disturb, and just concentrate on your work you can get a lot done. It also helps that although Im not a particularly talented developer, I do have almost 2 decades of experience so typically its just coding and not much research.

This can be tedious to be honest, but at this point in my life I have a family to take care of, Im prioritizing being a good provider over technical challenges that fulfill me.

I'm on pace to pay off my 20 year mortgage in 3 years. Once I'm debt free I may consider working less and doing something else with my time.
