Have you actually tried this? To me this creates an enormous liability of doing a horrible job at whatever 1 week project is received.

Is there actually 1-2 week projects?

If they end up not getting done, are they really going to be happy with a “Sorry it didn’t get done and I’m out of commission for a month”?

The up and down trends don’t really happen on a schedule. I wouldn’t be surprised if you get a surprise 2 day productivity boost and then can’t work for 3 weeks. And then this contract explodes.

I know my tone is like I’m trying to pwn your advice. I am skeptical, but if anybody has more to say about these concerns, I would like to hear them.

No, I definitely haven't tried it. I think your point is well taken. I am trying to think of something that'll work within OP's limitations.

But I do think that it is likely possible for OP to find some kind of hybrid arrangement that'd be better than their current situation.

Speaking from my ADHD, if a project is delayed I can generally keep focus for more - but the deadline has to be behind the corner
