I simply don't work much anymore. Below 10h a week on average. I haven't set an alarm for years anymore and sleep 9h a night That made me quite happy.

- __all__ 5y agoHow do you accomplish that? Does your manager just don't care about you? Do you work for yourself? Are you retired?
- k__ 5y agoI'm a freelancer.
- lucb1e 5y agoThat sounds like the advice is basically to be rich and go into semi-retirement. Not sure how generally applicable that is.
- Strom 5y agoYou need to think more outside the box. Think more cut costs than be rich. Costs can be cut radically, you can just move to the middle of nowhere and work remotely. Of course everyone's situation is different in regards to where their friends & family are located etc, but the point is that there are a lot more options beyond just being rich.
- k__ 5y agoI don't know either. I did it mostly by lowering my costs of living.
- Strom 5y agoI've done the same for more than a decade now. It's pretty nice indeed, especially the sleep without an alarm. I've also found that just directly making myself happy, by following urges and wishes, is a local maxima. I get a lot higher peaks of happiness by helping others. Thus a great factor in improving my overall happiness has been spending a bunch of that freed up time on altruistic work. Usually unpaid, just wanting to help others with those same skills that allow me to spend so little time working on my career.
- toastercat 5y agoCould you elaborate more please? This sounds idyllic, but without any context or details, this doesn't sound realistic (or useful) considering OP's question.
