I think this is a great point. One thing I haven't mentioned is I'm clear with my folks if it only takes 20 hours to get the job done they can do whatever they want with the rest of the time, they're exempt afterall. I've only had one person fully take me up on it and he was referred to as 7' Jesus. To be clear he was 6'6โ€ but I guess rounding was fine. And he only worked about 25 hours a week for me but killed it with what I needed and was happy.

Most people work about what I do but they know they can take time for themselves wherever and regularly do.

One person has a new born and doing half Fridays for the foreseeable future which I think is great. I encouraged more but that's all she wants.
