explaining those gaps

"I didn't feel like working" is perfectly acceptable. Any job that takes offense to that is not worth taking.

    Any hiring manager who hears that is going to hear it as "this employee will up and leave us without warning at any time"

    Not saying they're right, but that's what it is. Most people are looking to hire permanently if possible, you're telling them straight up that you are not going to be a permanent employee.

    Yeah, but depending on the industry, that can be ok.

    Some fields have companies that will hire and fire en masse based on projects that start and stop. At that point, they aren't just paying you to show up to work, they're also paying you to leave.
