Working part time has many benefits. For starters, it preserves your emotional energy and allows you to focus on pursuits that interest you. Having extra time means that you can expend more of your energy on things that you're passionate about and that are actually important to you. Another benefit is that if you work part time you will likely feel more relaxed in your day to day life. You're probably not in that job because it's your life goal to excel in that career and as a result you can stress less about day-to-day work life. Plus you won't have to treat everything like its 'high-stakes'. You may even be a better employee when you're not overly worried about your performance.
You will probably also find that you become more productive in other areas of your life. When you don't have a soul crushing, stress inducing 50 hour a week commitment, you can work on what interests you AND cook dinner and do some housework etc. You might naturally find that you want to be productive with your extra time.
When you work part time you are likely doing so for a reason. There is probably something you want to achieve with your free time. This could be starting a new business or spending more time with your family, or just spending more time on your personal well-being. Either way, it is a good idea to have goals and aspirations for what you would like to achieve so you don't end up sitting around all day watching Netflix.
