I'm not anyone's employee. I'm not subject to the Two-Hour Rule. I work on this website at least twelve hours a day.
Like everyone else who is on their own, we work like crazy. We get no vacations or sick days. We don't know what a "weekend" is.
If we can't work a day, it costs us. The life and mind set of people who work on their own is 180 degrees opposite from anyone who has a job.
When I had a job, a day of vacation was like finding a pot of gold. Today, a day off costs me a day's pay. Always.

Great essay by Ken Rockwell: The Two Hour Rule in American Business. He's usually telling people what kind of camera stuff they should buy, but here he deviates and passes on a little secret that you may have already realized.
