Contractor burnout and taking time off

[northernladuk]

Never really felt burn out though, but then maybe I just don't work hard enough

I thought the only burn you felt is when the lube dried up?

Go four days a week, you will notice the difference in your well-being and not really notice the difference in your pocket

This may be a half way house and a good suggestion. I was thinking to ask if 3 was possible. If not then 4 would at least help a bit.

I once had 32 over 4 days when working away (2hrs drive), but used to do 34. Started midday on Mon 6-7 hrs, Tue&Wed 10 -11 hrs, Thurs finish midday. Home at 2-2:30 pm and no work until 10am start on the Monday. Loved it.

I loved working three days a week when I had opportunity to do so. I was really cheeky and alternated the days I worked too, so every two weeks I had a 5 day weekend

6 day weekend, shirley?

6 day weekend, shirley?

I'm assuming the volume of gin meant 1 day was lost...

Yeah, I can't count.

Yep, drifting (away) saves you a fortune!
