Typical projects are probably the best to be charged at a fixed price. You know how much time they take, and you can also invest in automating the process. The client gets the result fast, at a predictable price. Everyone is happy.

I generally don't have any deadlines, so there is a constant struggle with maintaining my productivity high. I set goals for myself and try to engage in deep work as much as I can. But then there is inevitable slow time and the guilt is often creeping in ("I am not working as fast as I could!").
