RE: Being a freelancer vs. Having a normal job
Sounds interesting :) Although I know how it is to try to keep the same efficiency in all areas you mentioned, at once. You probably often end up overworked and confused?
I've been like that too, used to love doing lots of stuff at once because they were all so interesting. But I realized that I won't achieve anything real by spreading my attention in 1000 places.
I have a small web design company here in Denmark, and I'm designing mostly illustrations and infographics on Upwork (freelancing). I spend my free time learning programming, so that I can get bigger, more interesting projects that include demos, animations, gaming, maybe even robotics.
If you'd have to choose only one area of interest, which one do you think you're best at right now?
I can suffer from fatigue after too much time moving from one thing to another. However, if I am being productive it is not a problem.
What you are doing sounds interesting and rewarding. I am also in the process of building a profile on Upwork. Remote's AI was matching me with mismatches; I think that site is still work in progress.
In IT and web design, there is always more to learn and the technology moves so quickly. I was doing a Cloud Infrastructure Technologies course and it's mind boggling! Working, learning and progressing is a great situation to be in though.
Right now, I am probably most effective at activism, analysis and politics. They go hand in hand and I feel within a certain drive and passion behind them.
I hope your business continues to be profitable and rewarding.
