I've structured my life like this. Remote employer in a time zone 10 hours away, I get months long tasks I simply update boss on progress and am left to focus so deep my health suffers because I naturally obsess over my work, which I love. And working from home, my wife also works from home (freelance film producer), so we just immerse ourselves, have meals together, but otherwise we both obsess over our work. No commuting makes this very enjoyable.
