I think you are correct to feel good about your short days. Get in, get the work done, and stop working for the day. There's no reason to stretch that out to meet some quota of hours once the stuff that needed to get done that day is finished. @y0mbo: Having tried both now, I can’t imagine that 10-hour days is going to lead to a more satisfying life than my typical 6 hours or your 5 hours.

I work from home, and handle "dad" duties like picking the kids up from school. So my days are usually not more than about 5 hours of actual work since its so broken up. I used to worry about that, but now I don't. I got into freelancing because of the flexibility it would offer. It would be crazy to not take advantage of that.
