My sanity and income both improved remarkably once I stopped trading hours for money. Now I trade results for money. This gives me a lot of control over how I work. The client only cares about the result - X% increase in website traffic, X new leads, etc. As long as I make that happen, it doesn't matter to the client whether I work 5 hours or 50. I'm often done with my month's work in about 10-15 days and have enough downtime to focus on side projects.
