It’s easier said than done, we know. But being self-employed doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enjoy some downtime.

Knowing you’ve planned for time off can help ease the mental anguish of unplugging for chunks of time.

When you’re a freelancer, there’s no one telling you when you’re working too much. You need to realize it for yourself and set your own boundaries.

Your value is not in the number of hours you’re willing to work, it’s in the quality of the work you create.

If your natural sense of productivity doesn’t align with a traditional 9-5 work day, so be it. “That’s why you became a freelancer in the first place!” reminds Morgenstern.
