Ask HN: Why don't you work less?

Simple question.

Why don't you only work 6 or 9 months of the year? Or 4 days a week[1]?

In your newfound time you could work on personal/charity projects or add some more to the "life" part of work-life balance, or do anything else you wish.

I think it would be harder to find a 4-day-week job, but taking 3 or 6 months off per year should be doable in this profession due to the nature of the work and very high earnings.
