Sounds like you're flirting with the answer. Eventually, you hit a point where your health becomes more important than 10 billable hours a week.

I made this leap this year, explicitly cutting down to 4 day weeks and making fitness a priority again.

The previous 3 years were my least healthy on record. Two separate month-long flus and that annual six-month cold thing that never seems to go away. Coincided nicely with committing to a 40hr/week contract.

I'm 5 months in to this now. A bit less billed than this time last year, but not a sniffle in all that time.



It has nothing much to do with billable hours, and more to do with the amount of time I have for my family obligations.


more important than 10 billable hours a week.

Those 10 hours don't come out of work time, but out of family time.
