While there are still days/weeks/months where I am working on a new project and the hours are long, I would say in general the past 5 years I have worked less for any number of different reasons. There are times when we are working on something new, and it requires those old 12/18 hour days for a short period of time. But in general a lot less hours needed.

My business has changed, and expanded. I have hired people do to the repetitive webmaster sorts of tasks I used to do the bulk of my day. I have invested in a lot of automation, and my daily routine is varied now. I also think I work a lot smarter versus harder. Which taken as a whole has allowed me to go from brute manual labor and task master to a different role, hence cutting the hours and giving me weekends off.
