When I opened my own business, I decided I wasn’t working 40 hours a week anymore. I was working 50 when I was working for someone else and being a single mom hauling kids to different activities. I usually work 35 hours a week now and have more time for what matters. I don’t want to remember my life for how much I worked, but for the time I got to spend with my kids and significant other. My boyfriend has taken to the same philosophy and is currently working part time hours over night on the weekends so he can spend most of the week with his 100 year old grandfather.
