This. Most of the issues people face aren’t the challenges of work itself, it’s the environment. I find that offices and blue collar environments are optimized for sociopaths, and when you cut out the management as a subcontractor, things magically resolve themselves.
One compliment I always get is that I look WAY younger than I am. I attribute this to never having to commute or have a boss. This tends to breed the feast-famine cycle and despair that comes from being in a wagie cagie. Embrace work, avoid toil.
You can also fire clients, which is good. This flips the dynamic and many people spiral out.
What also ages people is knowing their salary in advance. For me, I can make as much as I want with the understanding that I will sacrifice for rewards. I use $60/hr as my base rate (1 min = $1), and if I have to spend more time to get something, like a blowjob from some bar floozy, then you can calculate how much it is worth. I’ve literally paid for people’s groceries because they were delaying me by arguing the price of cabbage.
And just to fuel your dreams, I recommend instrumental music. Bartok, Lizst, and Holst are my favorites, and they make perfect “study music”.
