Emotions, Work/Life Balance: Transitioning from Agent to Investor

For those who have worked full time as real estate agents and have transitioned to primarily being an investor yourself, how has your work/life balance changed and your stress/anxiety level?

I've been a residential agent in Portland, OR for 3+ years and am getting a little tired of the grind and pace although I primarily enjoy the work. My goal is to buy my first investment property this year, and I'd like to transition to being a full time investor (mostly apartments) instead of agent down the road.
