Let's talk about yesterday.
So yesterday was my first down day. I got up, got to a coffee shop for 8.30am and sat down to crack into the day. Great! I thought I was getting into a flow 8.30am for coffee, write a blog post, post a photo to Instagram and start on the emails.

When I'm low, two things happen. I get into bed and watch crap TV while surfing Facebook video's, it’s a pure attempt to hide away from the world. The other is I eat crap! Yesterday I had two
The day had truly beaten me.
The idea of this project FREE65 is to push myself to work harder everyday, to work as hard as I would if I had a boss hanging over my shoulder. To treat being a freelancer like everyone treats their 9-5s, getting up and doing it
It
Much love, as always
