Freelance work is hard

I've been a freelance developer for under a week now - and it's really hard!

Working from home changes the whole daily routeen, previously it was easy: -

1. Wake Up
2. Wash & Dress
3. Go To Work
4. Eat Lunch
5. Go Home
6. Eat Dinner
7. Sleep

Now it's been changed to: -

1. Wake Up
2. Work
3. Work
4. Work
5. Remember you're supposed to eat
6. Eat
7. Work
8. Work
9. Work
10. Sleep

If it were not for the Vista Side Bar I'd not even know what the Weather was outside!

I'll tell you what else has been difficult, saying no.

Saying no to people when they want work doing, managing the expectations fo clients, telling people they have a slot of a few days to fit in with me, it all becomes much more complicated and messy. It's seriously not what I'm used to doing.

Worth it though :-)
