Freelance now, with no set schedule or office hours. It has its highs and lows.
Highs - I can sleep as late as I want, then wake up as late as I want too. But as the work streams in, I find that I do have a schedule. Well, at least Thursday is ABS-CBN day. Then depending on closing time, I copy edit for People Asia and Aesthetics and Beauty, so Monday to Wednesday, and Friday sila. If I need to interview someone for a story, I just find some time within the week. Saturdays are normally lazy days. But I don't work on Sundays, just so you know.
Lows - No 15th and 30th so must be judicious with resources.
Lesson learned - Matthew 6: 30-33 “If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I’m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God’s giving. People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
34 “Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.
