Hell yes! I have never been a 6 am person! Once I became a full-time freelancer, I don’t get out of bed until my husband is leaving for work at 9! It’s fantastic to be able to sleep in and then be more productive when I am most awake and focused.
I do love lists and being organized, I just don’t do it before the crack of dawn!

This is by far one of the greatest pieces I have read Medium and an epiphany I had recently the last few months, because it rings very true in every aspect. Dabbling with freelance writing (I love it FYI) myself after being laid off from an industry I could not stand. You really are stuck in between 2 worlds, and yes at times it is grueling. At times…
