I’m amazed at some of these responses – you’ve given up working for “the man” and yet you’re driving yourselves harder than ever?
Specifically :
I come up with some strategies and tactics for the website – put them on a whiteboard that I can see from my desk – but I don’t set deadlines.
I don’t make a daily “to do” list.
I work on what I want – when I want – for as long as I want
If its a good day outside then I’m not working at all.
I will go for a walk along the waterfront, stop in at a pub or resturant for a drink and a good meal and enjoy the day. Or I’ll go for a drive around the harbour with my partner and we will find a nice place to stop and “picnic” or go for walk.
The only regular appointment I have in my working week is to take time out once a week and go and visit my mum who is living up along the coast (about 60 kms away) and have lunch with her.
Yes – I put in working hours – but it tends to be in three time periods.
– after breakfast (which is whenever I get up) until about 11:30am
– after lunch (say from 2:30 to 5:00pm)
– in the evening from 10pm for an hour or so.
Take those breaks. Wake up and smell the roses.
Enjoy each day and the journey through being self-employed.
Otherwise – what was the point ?
