I’m in the same boat and I’ve had to draw some pretty hard boundaries. No meetings after 7pm and I’m not responding to normal messaging after that time too (pitches emergencies etc non withstanding). The only way I get away with this is making sure I’m an active before PST wakes up.

I’m lucky to have a really understanding team though. Freelance may be a different story.

Relatable. I just shut my laptop as well.

I work out and go for a walk in the morning so I get some vitamin D.

Yep! My internal clock is out of sync right now. Hang in there! Hoping it’s all worth it.

I’m on the west coast.. I wake up at 6am for y’all. 🌞 once you get the hang of it, your body will adjust.

Oh wow, yeah I’m same. On west coast working east coast hours. Never imagined the other way around. Hope you find a system that works for you! 🙏🏽

Do you think someone who owns 200 ETH is financially independent?

My superiors are asking me to contact CEOs of debtors to chase payments. We’re in B2B and payments are usually 30 days or more. As soon as we get someone over that and they don’t provide a payment date, I’m being asked to contact their CEOs somehow and demand payment. I think it’s dumb, will hurt the relationship and I also don’t want to ruin my reputation. Thoughts?

Quick PSA: one of the perks of going in-house, is that you’re no longer at an ad agency and all that that entails.

Just started a new in-house tech fl gig and it’s giving me whiplash! Somehow this dept has brought every person/toxic behavior from their old agency just to a new environment. Nowhere is perfect but good god. I honestly think companies/HR could learn a lot about their depts from freelancers.

Hey fish - been seeing the talk about calculating day rates. Who here does the annual x 125 for day rate? If not, how do you calculate yours? Also - is the standard time expectation as many hours as it takes to meet the goal that day and are meetings lumped in, or do you do 8 hrs? (new to this)
