It's your life and you make the calls but why couldn't you just work half the time then? You'd get the same money and 12 or so days off every month. You can do plenty of interesting work during that spare time.
- glenngillen 15y agoBecause I've seen plenty of people try that (myself included) and it's rarely worked as planned. If you've got an interesting idea that you genuinely I think being tied up doing something else for 8 hours a day is just an excuse. You can either fit it in to your down time, or quit completely and be truly motivated to get it done. Instead I opted to have a long weekend every week, and spend my days doing something I enjoyed for people I liked for an amount of money that let me live a still very comfortable lifestyle in what is reportedly one of the most expensive cities in the world. I've still got a tonne of time to do interesting work, and a family that is happy I'm not coming home complaining about "the office".

When you come home and 90% of the time you're complaining to your family about work - it's time to leave. My current job is a 10 minute walk. 9 to 5. And I'm paid well. I come home quickly and have plenty of time to spend on whatever I want. And right now, it's my family.
