Freelancing offers flexibility and autonomy. Nevertheless, the downside of working by oneself is the sting of loneliness and boredom. A recent article, Use these tips to avoid the sting of loneliness while solopreneuring by Jack Lloyd shares a few ways to alleviate your loneliness throughout the day and stay productive.
-
Stay connected throughout the day. Keep up instant messaging (IM) or text conversation with family and friends throughout the day, but makes sure it will not ruin your productivity in favor of socializing.
-
Arrange video/call meetings or face to face meetings. Set up a video call or a voice call to communicate with your clients instead of using emails or rent a meeting space to meet your clients in person from time to time to fight boredom and at the same time establish relationships with them.
-
Find coworking spaces for freelancers. Rent a shared office space near your place at least once or twice a week to meet new acquaintances and other freelancers. It helps expand your network at the same time.
-
Take a mid-day break. Taking a one-hour break in the middle of your work day to go around and mingle with other people is very refreshing, even if it’s just a trip to a coffee shop to meet a friend or to a local supermarket.
