> There is no choice to earn less, take it easy

There is no choice to go to your boss and say “hey I want to work 20 hours, can you cut my salary in half and keep my benefits”?

This misunderstands your value as an employee (linear function of time at the office) and signals you aren’t really interested in the project.

However there absolutely are companies, and roles within the company, where you can work much less than 40 hours - you just can’t explicitly ask for it.

> A break of 1-2 years

Yeah another example that won’t work.
