How you can expect to "come down" from the nightmare of office politics and "get it done yesterday" mentalities in less than a week. I think you need time to add a little rest into the mix.

You will find a new way of working on projects, and it's no longer in the interstices of your life. The best part is the exploration, the projects you'd never dream of chained to a desk. So, type-A, give a little time for the Goddess to come in and lift you even higher than you can imagine now... ps Colin is right.

I *love* being my own boss and taking my own assignments, making my own schedule, and limiting my interaction with office culture to "here's my invoice" e-mails. I get paid for writing about things I want to learn about, and yes, I still have to write and edit textbooks once in a while, but I am a real writer today. For your readers navigating the gig economy: DO learn about the tax stuff NOW if you go self-employ. If you don't know what you can deduct, you will get spanked big-time on April 15 (you have to pay FICA and double this and that in taxes when you freelance or have your own biz).

Once you get in the habit of not having to go to the day job, you'll find a new rhythm and the projects will begin. Just you wait and see.
