I'd rather be an employee working less hours than have no life working for myself.

I did a near 65 hour week for my client working 7-18.30 during the week & a half day on a Sunday. After around 3 months I felt like utter shit - both your personal life and work life suffers, your productivity & quality of work go completely downhill. I eventually went back to them and said Id be sticking to my 45 hour week contract. Any extra hours would be charged at double my rate. At the new client Im at I do my 9 hour day & thats it. I dont start any earlier than 07:00 & I log off bang on 17:00 and it feels so much better.
