For the last year I've kept complete freedom of my time by consulting ~5 days/month and spending the rest of my time learning, building and travelling. I've never been happier or more productive. Anyone else doing something similar?

Yep - combination of living in Europe (low costs) + working in niches (good rate)

So you only need work 5 days / month to cover your expense? That's awesome.

I really want to get more free time, but not able rn.

I'm fairly flexible with the work, this works best for my clients. It's a great set up!

How do you split this? One full week of consulting, same day each week?

This sounds like a dream setup actually

I’m not doing this but it seems like a great way to live
