At my last job I was making way more money than I could realistically spend, but there was no way I could go half-time and get those precious hours back for other things.

Consulting gives me that freedom, which I appreciate more and more as the years go by.

That is awesome that you made the jump from enterprise to working for yourself (or at least being able to set your own work pace). Are you independent or do you work with a firm? I think my consulting firm had some flexible work options. I know one person who worked only 4 days per week. But I don't think I ever saw anyone go half-time. That's a great option you have.

I'm indie right now. I spent the last year trying to make a living selling my own iOS apps and not making much money. But it looks like the freelance iOS market is pretty good so I'm shifting my focus to contracting.
