I still get work done, and have lots of personal time. I do occasionally take on an ambitious project and work overtime for a few weeks, but then I try to balance it with more rest so I don’t burn out. Wait, how do you get to not working 8 hours per day?

By not getting paid by the hour, and being an actual freelance. I'm a software engineering consultant, and I work mornings 6 days a week.
