Right now I'm working 20 hours per week as a contractor. It's beautiful.

My hours are also pretty flexible. If I'm really in the zone, I can work a 10 hour day. That's what I did today. I started at 3pm, had a break around 7pm, and I just finished what I was working on at 2am (30 minutes ago).

Yesterday, I wasn't feeling motivated at all, so I just ended up taking the day off and doing something else.

I'm living in Thailand, so normally I'll work from 10pm until 2am, so I have overlap with clients in the US. I wake up at 10am, and it feels like I have the whole day to do whatever I like.

I'm earning less money, but I'm somehow saving much more than I did in San Francisco.




The implication of those hours is that you go to bed pretty soon after finishing work -- how easy do you find it to wind down on a schedule?


Yes, that's right. I take about 30 minutes to read or watch something, but I usually find it very easy to fall asleep.
