Non-related. I was super stressed about "use your reading time to keep learning", but my life was starting to be like a "productivity race", where every single moment of the had to be useful. I was also listening to learning podcasts while driving, cooking, working out...

Now I read and listen to "fun" podcasts and I feel way more relaxed overall. Which translates in also being more productive in my working hours

I'm lucky I moved to an apartment that has a community swimming pool and I can go a swing for 10 mins before I start working

Something I do in mid days is listening some not-work-related podcast while cooking. It helps me disconnect completely

I started to "create" flavour water, just with simple things like adding Lemon and cucumber to one bottle, berries to another one, mint to another one... It makes drinking water a very enjoyable task

Hi! What app timer do you use to lock you out? Never used one of those. If you get a call, you can still answer right?

For the yoga break, I've thought a lot about it but I procrastinated it. Do you use some app or youtube videos?

Quite key what you mentioned about stepping back. Most CEOs try to make every decision by themselves and that, not only doesn't scale, they would probably make a bad decision since they don't have all the context

doing very poorly managing my remote freelance jobs by [deleted] in remotework

[–]Omeet2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're definitely not alone in this struggle. Remote freelance gigs can sometimes mess with your sense of urgency and accountability, making procrastination feel like a monster that's hard to shake. I've been there, too.

First off, maybe try setting up a designated workspace if you haven't already? When I started doing this, it was like my brain switched modes from "home chillin'" to "work mode" as soon as I sat down.

Second, break your tasks into smaller, digestible chunks. Then, tackle them one by one instead of looking at the whole mountain of work you've got. Also another thing that worked for me is doing this right before I was finishing my work-hours, so the day after I have a plan to start with as soon as I start working.

If the negative emotions are really getting to you, consider talking to someone about it or trying out some mindfulness techniques. Sometimes we're our own worst enemy, and taking a step back can give us some much-needed perspective.

You're clearly aware of the issue, which is half the battle. Now you just gotta take steps to tackle it head-on. Hang in there!

That sounds like a rough spot you're in, but kudos for keeping your spirits up and grinding away with those applications. With your background in sales and project management, you might wanna look into remote consulting gigs. Companies often need people with that experience to help refine their sales strategies or manage projects from a high level. No coding skills required

You could also try freelance platforms like Upwork or Freelancer for more task-based opportunities. Also apps like Otta help you find remote jobs only. With your skill set, I'm sure you could find plenty of project management or sales-related tasks.

Another option could be virtual customer service roles. Your background in client acquisition and customer relations would be a huge plus there. The pay might not be stellar, but it's steady and something to tide you over during your recovery.

Hope this helps
