I am 60 and for almost my entire life I have only worked 32 hours per week, first for large companies (e.g., SAIC) then for a few smaller companies, and for the last 13 years as a consultant. Lately I have been trying to cut back and partially retire but that is tough since I usually enjoy my work.

I have friends and business associates who thrive on long work hours.

We all need to figure out what we need out of life.

One more thing: I have a general problem with not having enough time for everything that I want to do. I find that cutting way back on TV and stop watching movies or reading books that I decide just aren't worth the time helps a lot.

I'm trying to rein my relationship with work in, and limiting myself to 30 hours a week is one way to do that. Now that I consult, I just have to learn to give myself vacations. :)
