Freelance happiness is something to do, something to love, something to desire
Reaching day-to-day freelance utopia takes means your work fulfills three criteria.
1. Something to do.
This is the base layer. Without something to do you’re bored and hungry. Gotta pay the bills. Gotta buy the baked beans.
2. Something to love.
Aim to do as much of the work you enjoy as possible. If you’ve got #1 covered then be selective in your work. Don’t take on the cigarette advertising billboard project.
3. Something to desire.
As humans we like to feel that we’re working towards something. The projects you take on should be moving you towards your goals. Of if your goal is to grow a side project, engineer time in your schedule to work on it.
Freelance happiness is something to do, something to love and something to desire.
