Well, I certainly won't be working harder. I've been juggling plates alone for decades: Taking care of the house, garden, and cats and doing my job. Now I can put down one of the plates. As for sleeping in, that's what I've done for the last 40 years. As soon as I started working at home, I had to switch to a night schedule so that I wouldn't be interrupted or distracted by the common elements of daytime life -- phone calls, visitors, etc. I'm looking forward to going to bed before 5:00 in the morning and getting up before noon.
And I just realized that I could take up drinking if I want! For all of these years, I've had to forgo a drink with dinner because my mind had to be sharp for work.
