When you start looking at self employment as a job instead of what you love, you’re not having enough fun with it. Put some play in your work day.
You get up, you go to the office. You grouse about the junk in your e-mail inbox and you start thinking about the projects you have to do that day. If you start looking at the clock and thinking about quitting time, you’ve got a problem. After all, self employment is supposed to be fun. It’s what you love to do, right?
Here’s one of the perks of self employment: you don’t have to work like you’d work for someone else. You can take hour long lunches, thirty minute breaks, you can pause what you’re doing and surf the ‘Net. If you really need to take a break, you can even play a game. After all, you are your own boss.
And no one is a more strict taskmaster. So take a break every now and then and simply enjoy the fact that you’re self employed. You can slack off, but don’t fall too far behind.
