Settling Down

Well, I’ve arrived, and let me say, it’s bloody difficult! I thought that being a Freelancer, I could just whip out my laptop and work away whenever I wanted to right?

Wrong! More than anything, I realize that a good freelancer has to have a schedule. I know that lots of people feel that freelancing is cushy and that you have all the free time and flexibility in the world. To a large extent there is some truth in that, but what most people don’t realize is that unless you have a schedule that you stick to day in and day out, you’re not going to make it.

Reliability plays a big role in being a freelancer, and for me, I find that I can only be reliable when my affairs are settled. Finding an apartment, getting furniture, food, a phone connection and an Internet connection completely threw me off my work and it’s only now when I have a semblance of sanity, am I able to get back to a good schedule.

My net connection hasn’t been set up at home yet, so I have to work from a wifi hotspot. I had to find a relatively quite place before I could settle down. It’s tough adjusting to a new schedule, but things seem to be on track finally. My buyers have been very patient and understanding about my move. Hopefully I will be able to justify their confidence in me!

Just waiting for my Internet Connection to be set up at home now before I resume my lazy little life. Here’s hoping that all turns out well.
