I've been doing the hourly thing for over a decade and that is not my experience at all. If anything I work less because I make far more per hour. I'd be very afraid to do $X/mo or something like that because the clients would want to feel like they are getting maximum value out of me. With hourly, if I want to take the day off no big deal. I just don't get paid but I'm not burdened by obligations. Whereas if I do want to work extra, I'm getting paid directly for that time. It's honestly more relaxing.
