This is me in a nutshell. The only thing that I must do everyday is handle email. Which takes about 30 minutes a day. I can do practically nothing (work related) for months on end and than suddenly work almost day and night to either get a new feature of the ground or rewrite certain parts of the stack. There was a moment where it really hit me that unless I start some kind of SaaS business, I would always have to work for clients and bill hourly to generate income. After that realization all work for clients felt like a waste of time. That was the driving factor to build something that would be able to grow organically and sustain itself.
