I think the anchor contract is a great idea. Basically, try to make the type of time commitment that you've been avoiding due to your FTE status. If you're able to do that, it's both a good indicator that you'll be able to do it again in the future, and a good way to avoid too much of an income gap when you quit. Signing that contract is the trigger to quit your FTE job. However if you can't do it, it's a good idea to figure out why and address the issue before making the jump.
