You hear it all the time in New York City. Freelancing is not as easy as it seems. Those independent and artistic spirits who are drawn to an office-less, boss-less career are the same types who have trouble creating structure in their day.
When I quit the bodyrub spa to work for myself, I imagined having more money rolling in while keeping my home immaculate, creating home cooked cuisines, and taking on several crafty activities. Although the money rolled in, I became increasingly lazy. I have always been the type who naturally wakes up at 7am to run the dog and blend a smoothie. Then suddenly I morphed into the other type... I began having trouble getting into the shower before noon, snacking from the cupboards instead of cooking, and taking luxurious afternoon naps with my mutt. Business began to hurt. I couldn't go to an outcall if I was unshowered and hungry with an anxious pup! I finally created a weekly schedule that allows me to get everything done before noon... but it's not easy because I'm a very laid back boss.
