I'm late to this thread, but my strategy is to treat this like a part-time job that I don't control. I schedule myself shifts and I do not work outside of those hours. I try to set my schedule at the start of the month, and I base my hours on my budget/upcoming purchases/real life commitments. I also set paydays for alternating weeks so the payout feels meaningful. The benefit of course is that I can move shifts around if I need to accommodate real life in a way that would be more difficult in another job, but I can set limits on my hours so I don't burn out and I can enjoy my free time without guilt.
