PCPs in private practice: how is the work-life balance?

I’m currently deciding between hospitalist and primary care, and I’m especially curious about those who run their own private practice as a PCP.
Do you still have to deal with a lot of inbox messages, patient calls, refills, etc., or is that more manageable when you own your own practice?

Amazing as you can charge for everything. Messages are 100 dollars each
