Setting Boundaries With Work as a Self-Employed Person
Discipline is important, but so is balance.
Yesterday, my best friend came to visit me. We dressed up, went out to a cafe, and talked endlessly about movies and books.
I had five items on my to-do list.
Guess how many of them I crossed off? ZERO!
Yes, I got absolutely no work done, and I enjoyed every moment of the day.
But do you know something?
Taking breaks wasn’t always so easy
A few months back, if you told me I’d spend a full day not doing any work, I would be super stressed.
You see, when you’re self-employed, every hour you spend in front of the computer screen means you can earn more money and get better opportunities for yourself.
Until a few months back, I was so obsessed with working all the time and hitting all my deadlines, that taking time out for myself felt like I was cheating on my dreams.
I said no to every get-together, refused to meet old friends when they were in town, and spent months without watching any movie or series.
