> people understate the day-to-day flexibility and overstate the month-to-month flexibility

I completely agree! Somehow every day feels like you are free to do what you want, even take it off, but in the long-term it feels like you never really have free time at all, because your mind is always thinking about the business or feeling guilty for the time off, which could be spent to further improve the product.

Many 9-5ers minds are always thinking of how to escape anyways, so at least you have something tangible to think about if you already have that business

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy thinking about how to improve my product, new marketing ideas etc., the issue is more how it affects the rest of your life, where your attention on other aspects of life might be diluted, as a result maybe you will spend less time thinking, for example, about what nice thing you could do for your partner.
