I've decided to relegate work - that is paid work, my job - to the category of 'optional'. As I solicitously cleaned my teeth tonight, I cleverly thought that from now on I'll just work when I feel like it. Turn up when it suits me, if ever. So that any other day I can now begin spending more time writing, and could write for longer. And write late at night, into the small hours - when I write my best - without caring about feeling too tired the next day. This way, I'll finish my two stories much quicker, thus allowing me to become a wealthy author (that assumes a lot) - in turn I could then truly write for a living for the rest of my life.
The only thing I haven't fathomed is how to earn a decent living in the meantime.
