It takes quite a bit of time to get to the point where you can work for yourself and have a good work/life balance. I've been doing it myself for the better part of 7 years and I still struggle sometimes. I have days where I just ignore LinkedIn notifications, or email, just so I can have down time. And I try to take two vacations a year where I turn my phone off completely. I try for one to two days a week where I don't do work activities at all. But it takes time to make these things habit.
