(FreelanceSwitch) This can apply to a lot more than just freelancing, students can be susceptible to throwing out this work/life balance. We shouldn’t spend all day with collective noses to the engineering grindstone, we need to make sure we are still out there doing stupid college student things (after all, they are only slightly less tolerated after you graduate).

I'm a full-time engineering student and a part-time worker on campus and I've been through this whole thing too. Sometimes for a student, (unless you are an English major) it might be in your best interests to accumulate a little bit more debt and pay it off later, rather than go insane working and going to class. Better to graduate in debt and sane than debt free and insane. This sort of thing can be applicable to a lot more people than just freelancers, it can be for people in regular jobs or students too.

Hi all – thanks for the comments and nice to see that freelancing has been a positive impact on health for some of you :-)

I’m currently being “forced” to be more productive and healthy in my working habits…my eyes have suffered recently so am trying not to spend more than a 2-4 hours a day in front of the laptop and working on natural vision correction which is helping a ton…it also helps that we have great weather at the moment in South Africa and staying 100m from the beach means we’re naturally drawn there every day!!!

It is all about balance. With a partner who has an 8 to 5 "real" job - and six+ weeks of paid vacation - I want to share and enjoy our life together, We travel a great deal and I make my career fit into that schedule of multiple vacations, long weekends and other adventures. My passion for gardening also helps me keep things in perspective. Most of my friends are self-employed - including my chiropractor, acupuncturist, massage therapist, and doctor - and we all keep each other in check. In fact, many of us travel together as well.
