I'm in the incredibly privileged position to do this too.

4 day week, at a salary 20% under the market rate. My spare day is spent on doing a part-time masters, or personal projects in-between modules.

Previously, I was a freelancer for 7 years, and would take 3 months off over summer every year to work on personal projects.

I'm lucky that I don't have one of those jobs that requires constant presence, or being on-call, etc. (I build SaaS/backend systems)

A little joke for all of you whose bosses won't let you live your best life:

My boss arrived at work in a brand-new Lamborghini. I said, "Wow, that's an amazing car!" He replied, "If you work hard, put all your hours in, and strive for excellence, I'll get another one next year".
