The Path to Freelancing, with Crickets

On how we work less to be happier and to make clients happier as well.

The weather finally allowed us to venture out into nature: we took the dogs to Óbudai Island, and while they ran around in the grass and took a dip in the Danube, we rambled about our self-management experiences in the freelance world.

The path we took:

• How do we manage our day-to-day work?
• Our tricks for incentivizing clients and bosses to respect our time. Spoiler: it's just communication.
• Our addiction to clear roles and responsibilities, and clarity in client relationships in general.
• Working hours challenges across roles and timezone differences.
• Our struggles with context switches and some tools we tried to stay sane.
• The tools we use and don't use for managing our tasks.
• And all the work we don't do, but should be doing for a successful freelancing business.

Grab your headphones, and head to the nearest park to walk with us!
