Very recently, I transitioned from a full-time agency job to doing the odd day for that agency as a freelancer and spending the rest of my time doing my own projects, websites, and ventures. If I didn’t have a superstar or a boss, this would have been a difficult transition. With no set schedule (yet) it’s a challenge to know what to focus on next! Now to avoid this blog post turning into a giant wall of text and not many images (I’m not actually sure if I’ll put images in this at this point because it’s just not a focused post!) I’ll include little headings as I usually do so that you’re not going to get bored and click off this post!

If I didn’t have a superstar or a boss, this would have been a difficult transition.My boss was very understanding of the whole thing and we now have a great relationship and continue to be friends and work together. Good stuff! But switching from full-time work to full time working for yourself can be confusing

Attention and mental energy is actually a resource and it DOES run out! It’s easy to think that you can just focus on things all day long but you can’t. Your brain is like a muscle, and because I can’t really remember where I found this out, you’re going to have to take my word for it, but there have been studies done proving this! Try and focus on things all day long 7 days a week, with no breaks. You’ll find that at the very best, you’re just not as effective towards the end of the days, and towards the end of the week
What relaxation looks like for you
- Don’t wear jeans under your white coat. It’s unprofessional
- Interns – don’t spend all day long socializing over cups of coffee
- Don’t roll up the sleeves of your white coat. You’re not a butcher
- For the ladies – don’t put on lots of makeup and perfume
- Took time off to recuperate and recover my energy.
