At this point in the summer, whether I’m doing odd jobs like the photo shoot or more routine stuff like setting up the website, I’m typically working no more than 5 or 6 hours a day. Usually, I wind up the day’s work at around 2 or 3 in the afternoon, perhaps running an errand or two before riding my bike to the beach to bodysurf. A few times a week, I’m even going to the gym before going to the beach. There’s no question that the short work days allow me to exercise more thoroughly than I have in years. In addition, the increased amount of free time enables me to move through my entire day at a more leisurely pace, which undoubtedly has health benefits of its own.
