Be willing to accept less pay. Work in the public sector. Government and education jobs tend to be less demanding and pay commensurately.

As mentioned by others, nobody gets paid to “chill”, but with fewer responsibilities there can be more opportunities to take initiative and grow in a direction that interests you. Once you clear out your backlog if things are slow you can start looking for ways you can improve the system while sharpening your skills on your own terms.

Work in the Public sector can be exhaustive, since some branches are severly underfinanced, at least in Germany.
