So, I am am a fulltime freelance content creator for almost 2.5 months and all seems fine. Had a nice holiday, had some projects to work on, and still there are projects planned in the near future. I think I can say I have had an easy start.
Last week, after finishing a project I have been working on, it seemed harmless to take a little down time. I intended to have a break for an hour. That one hour became a four hour ‘orange is the new black binge session.’ All of a sudden
my day was over! Could have been creating new content but, instead I was consuming content.
It sounds cheesy but, time is going by so fast! Back when I was still working my ‘day job’, I guilted my 36 hour work week of being in the way of making my own dreams come true.
So after quitting my job I expected to have an unlimited amount of time to make it work for myself. Every day, the whole day to work on the stuff I am passionate about.
But, these past two months I kept having the feeling that I have no time. I felt so busy without actually doing anything. Before I knew the day was over. The only progress I made was being very up to date about the stuff my Facebook friends were doing. I didn’t make any content, did not learn anything relevant. Just wasted days scrolling through Facebook, Instagram and making my face look like a dog on snapchat…
Now, since I have quit my job it’s pretty much impossible to blame others for having no time to do the stuff I want. I am the only one responsible for de stuff I do. That sentence going through my head made me realise what a lazy bum I actually have been all my life. All this time I pointed fingers to others to blame that I am not doing the thing I wanted to do.
