RE: I think we're doing it wrong.

in #life3 years ago

Being self employed and self taught is clearly working out for you I think you are on to a winner there. Your daily routine of balancing 2hrs intense work with walks and workouts sounds like a good recipe for success.

Personally, I have been a successful digital nomad
but now I'm back on the 9-5. I work through an agency so I can pick and choose, at the moment I have a lot of outgoings so I choose Monday to Friday.

I have found both to be taxing if I'm honest, working 9-5 can be demoralising at times but being self employed came with the stress of not knowing how long it would last and the lack of routine was not great for me.

I'm lucky in the sense that I've been a truck driver for 14yrs and I can hop in and out as I please because the work is plentiful.

I'm currently looking to have the best of both worlds as I plan to start blogging and vlogging and then do three days driving so we'll see how that works.

Thank you!

It seems to me that you have a great attitude towards life, and I hope your plan of balancing vlogging/blogging with driving works out well.

Yes, I suppose you have to pick your poison - I imagine if one had all the advantages, and the other only negatives, then everyone would just choose the former. And perhaps we need this balance, as well. :)
