After six years as a teacher, where my every moment was dictated by a timetable of 25 hours every week, plus form times and meetings carefully(!) scheduled, I'm finding the freedom of freelancing entirely liberating.
Attaching priorities to tasks isn't always easy, but I've been asking my clients to rank each piece they give me, with deadlines. Even if those deadlines shift.
Being a writer and sitting at my desk is fulfilling and knowing that I am supplying my clients with what they need makes it worth getting out of bed in the morning.
I may never get another day 'off sick' in my life, but I may never need it, if I continue to prioritise effectively and manage the stress.
