I am in the fortunate position to only work 3 days a week (freelancing). The other 2 days I dedicate to learning new tools/technologies and skills. I only have done this for two months, but I feel the best I have in a while.
I was always discouraged by seeing other people spending so much time on learning new things or on their side projects. But now I know that it was just not possible for me with a full time job.
