This is also why I started freelancing and limit myself to ~20hr weeks. I actually feel just as productive as I did working 8hr days salaried, since I have much better mental health with the extra free time.

The only real downside is finding clients to agree to that limit, but so far it hasn't been too much of a problem.

And as someone who hires contractors, 20 hours can be positive for your client.

Why? Lowers weekly management / feedback / “business decisions” needed to enable your work.
