Freelancing sounds like it’s a walk in the park. However, many freelancers work really long hours for not so much money in situations that mimic the worst job of their lives.
7 Freelancer Stress-Busting Tips has some suggestions for dealing with freelancer stress. Here’s my favorite:
Define a quitting time. If you don’t have a time you’ve set to close up shop, you’re going to be plugged in so much that you’ll never feel like you can relax. Set the most important part of business hours — quitting time — and stick to it. You’ll find your focus improve instantly, and if you fall behind you’ll discover that it’s less stressful to show up earlier tomorrow to catch up than it is burning the midnight oil.
