Part-timer
Mar 5th, 2010 by handolio
From this month, I’ve switched to a four-day week at iCrossing. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while: I’ve struggled to stop freelance taking over my weekends and, frankly, have started to get a bit shit at meeting deadlines.
The other part of it is that I enjoy freelance and I don’t like feeling that I’m doing it badly. The extra time should allow me to catch up with existing commitments before seeking out a few new ones.
The prospect seems to have given me a boost, even extending to some renewed enthusiasm for blogging. And today, my first day ‘off’, was good. I learned:
-I can see stereograms, but the ones with dots are shit.
-Pigeons actually bob their head so they can create motion parallax, and thus judge the distance of objects.
-A dog’s head with a man’s hands is inherently funny.
Good to see you struggling with the first hurdle of freelancing – procrastination
Not a bit of it – all discovered during the course of research.
Apart from Dogman. But he so cute.
Hello there, I’m freelance too and struggle with discipline, time-wasting on the net and inability to prioritise. But other than that I’m great at my job!
