I wanted to start a business and work the bare minimum, but I felt guilty about it - even though my bare minimum is still impressive to my employers.
My solution was to just switch jobs and take a pay cut. I work a lot less now (with the same kind of arrangement), but I feel a lot less guilty about spending chunks of my time on my own thing.
