since I last posted at
3am on a Saturday morning
felt that I have gone a long way
Work-High X More Deadlines: Hyper Night
as how I concluded the post
yeah I didn’t go back to sleep but
stayed up to work until 6:30 am
the 3 hours were
exceptionally effective
probably because the content is
something I am quite familiar with
consumers response after watching an ad
I can’t help thinking about
my advertising lecturer back then
he was such a great one
despite being a little harsh
both my parents were awake by then
and asked if I need
a cup of hot chocolate for
breakfast? supper?
no it’s okay
and woke up at 10 am
that was earlier than expected
went out of the house
sweeping the backyard and
mopping the kitchen
I don’t know
somehow I just felt like doing so
some house-chores to
warm myself up
because I know pretty well that
once I get back to the computer
I will be too lazy to
so there went my Saturday
got back to work by 11 am
all the until 3pm
submitted two tasks
hooray
knocked off and
fell back asleep at 5pm
all the way until 7
that’s just bad timing
isn’t it
back to the common routine
TV time with family after dinner
we were watching Voice of China
by midnight
I was left with 3 untouched tasks
pretty challenging one I would say
it was such a difficult time to
get myself started with a new task
on a Saturday night
yet I forced myself to
the work was pretty messy
I would say
but once you get yourself started
you will soon fall into the mood
headed back to sleep by 1am
wanted to look for some
places of interest for blogging
yet my eyes and arms were pretty killing
Sunday
woke up at 10am
no work until 4pm
after a decent nap from 11am – 3pm
I am just that kind of person
who can fall for a nap anytime
even if I just wake up
not too long ago
2 hours of work after the nap
was sufficient to at least
get rid of the inertia to move on
followed up
dinner – TV – dropped by the mall – TV
and got back to work after
everyone went to bed
I think that’s pretty much the
should I say fringe benefit of a freelancer
the flexibility to break your work schedule up
into the most productive slots of the day
the progress has been good so far
by the way
Freelancing in America 2015 Report
by Edelman Berland is out
“nearly 54 million Americans
are now doing freelance work”
that’s not really that surprising
but a certain paragraph
exactly captured what
I have been thinking all these while
“Without employer-sponsored benefits,
freelancers need help affording
health care and saving for retirement.
They suffer anxiety and isolation due to
unpredictable income.
They have a virtual lack of recourse
against wage theft.
They lack a sound social safety net.”
so I am not that lonely after all
freelancers around suffer the same
what’s ahead for the week
will be occupied for
the first half of the week
with the current two major tasks
both involved legal
yet in totally different industries
and of very different nature
one is half done, hooray
I must be the lucky few
who are actually interested in law
yet not that competent enough to
take up law profession
but still able to continue to
pursue my interest in law
and get paid for it
isn’t that kind awesome
the same goes to
advertising, economy, marketing etc
who cares about retirement healthcare
from a full-time job then…
