    I typically have a 3 1/2 day work week. I get paid on what I produce. I COULD produce more and get paid more but after over a decade I have leaned that it’s not worth it. The more I make, the more we spend to cover the absence of not being able to live our own lives.

        As someone who recently started working 4 days, there is absolutely less void in my life. Though the pains of the working days are often amplified because there’s just that much more awareness of weighing each working day against the life I’m building outside.
