Workaholism is a real problem (did you know there is a Workaholics Anonymous?). This problem is more acute for freelancers as the payback from more work is more obvious - liquid cash.

I happened to relax a bit in the few months and the first unexpected effect has been a sort of panic for the extra time earned. I took more than one month to relax. Excellent Post.

That is place it on your schedule. Sometimes you just can't let it happen, it needs to be planned. Schedule those couple of hours that you may want during the week just as you would a vacation.

I think one of the hardest for new freelancers (or anyone in this economy for that matter) is the Project Diet. Yet, it surprisingly the one that can actually put more money in your pocket. I learned that when I got better at assessing the ROI, I was able to let go and say "no" to work, which made room for higher return projects. Sometimes we allow fear to hinder our rational thought but it's important to not just be busy but busy with high value work. Thank you for the excellent reminder and tips!
