I've had quite a few jobs before, but I love my freedom more than my stability, so I ended up freelancing. :D And somehow I always tend to choose the hard way. :))))

One of the most important thing for me right now is the time of day I choose to do my work on. I'm an early morning person - I just finished my main work already by the way, before 0830 am - so if I don't work in the morning, it becomes harder and harder to do something. I experienced with different times throughout the day but I keep coming back to mornings, early or at least before 12. In the afternoon or evening I'm almost never able to work. :)

Imagine that the day barely starts for most people and you've already finished most of your work for the day. How do you think that feels like? ;)

There are other important aspects, like taking days off or vacations. Because I never know if I'm going to have enough work next month, I tend to choose work over relaxation all the time. And that led me to a burnout last autumn. But that's where savings come into play. A good amount of money set aside, so you know you can live for 3 to 6 months without working feels very important to me.

And then there's the fact that I have no work colleagues. There are more aspects, but let's keep it short here. There are articles to be written on the subject. ;)
