Freelancing through Tough Times
Sometimes it can be difficult to focus on work. The world is on fire or your brother just died; you’re struggling with your health or your spouse just lost their job.
Here are some simple things you can do to help make it through tough times:
- Give yourself grace.
- Turn off the news.
- Keep notifications/intrusions to a minimum.
- Focus on smaller block of time, just for ten minutes or half an hour.
- Do at least some work you enjoy.
- Do basics that keep your business running.
- Delegate for a bit.
It’s difficult to focus when the news is bad but work can be a balm, a place where you can do something other than grieve and worry (no matter what you’re grieving or worrying about).
