What do you like and dislike about being a freelancer?

[anselmh]

Like:

• I can manage time mostly on my own (like taking a day off during the week)
• I can choose which clients I want to work for and which not
• Freedom of work
• No focus on one project all the time (for me it gets a bit boring to work on the same client project over a year)

Dislike:

• It’s hard to manage time all on your own, stay focused
• It’s even harder to take breaks and preserve some private life (known as good work-life balance)
• No steady income, always some kind of “fear” what’s happening next
