Pain points being a freelancer Working as a freelance is not always easy. It's up to you to focus when you don't feel creative or productive, and on the other hand you need to know when it's the moment to stop working. I have some fruitful weeks and other ones that I feel the only thing that I want to do is to rest. The most negative part is when you're trying to manage something and this though becomes something fixed on your mind. And you lose your sleep. Your brain is not able to relax and forgot your business for a while, and the next day you feel distracted and sleepy. How could I manage my work to separate my life than my work life? That's the main question when your work is also part of your passion!
