julicorn's journey 3 - The House on the Hill

I hear you on this, that makes a lot of sense and is very positive to hear. Well done on taking the days off steady too, it sounds like you've long been in need of just that unplanned down time to watch the world go by a little, and let your mind ease off the accellorator pedal. Great numbers this month, keep up the good work!

Thank you so much  
I think the one big thing I didn't expect as well is the positive impact it's had on work as well, I'm feeling much more productive and less stressed in those two days, which means they're not something I dread or worry about. They're giving a good anchor to my week as well. 
I've now offered for my employer to book me almost as a freelancer on the other days if things get busy again, I think that could work quite nicely. Working more days every now and then for extra cash is something I'd be happy to do, especially as it'd likely be on trickier / more interesting projects.

that sounds positive, as its giving you the autonomy and flexibility over when you work, rather than dreading going in/feeling trapped. brilliant work-life balance achievement!
