Question - is it possible to only work 3 days a week freelancing? In my current FT role, I barely have more than 20 billable hours, so I'm considering returning back to freelancing. I know that the reduced hours aren't "traditional", but wanted to get a sense if anyone has done it.

It’s definitely possible to work 3 days a week as a freelancer! I’ve known people who’ve structured their schedules this way. It might take some time to build up a client base that fits those hours, but if you’re strategic and focused, it can work. It’s all about finding the right balance and managing your time!

I have been considering it! Haven’t quite had the work I expected to have and freelancing is kind of something I miss now. I was doing that full time before I came here. Right now I’m trying to think if I can keep my time organized and what exactly I’ll take on if I do go for it.

My experience of freelancing is, I work when they want me to, for however much they want to pay me, for whoever asks. Basically the opposite of Vivian's manifesto in Pretty Woman.
