A meaningful life/job does not, nor should it not, interfere with the amount of free time you have. Your time is yours and if you allow others to dictate it you're lost. Why I hated working from home during the early days of the pandemic. My time was not mine. My home and office all of a sudden became intertwined. Now that I'm back in the office full time (and have been for a couple months) when I am not at work my emails are off. Not sure if you do but if you read your work emails during your off time you are allowing others, those that email you, to dictate your time. Don't let them.
Interesting how I said "meaningful job" and you responded "meaningful life".
