It’s now been 3 months since I left my job and became self employed. As I wrote after my first month of being self employed, things are still going quite well. I really like my projects and even though I was recently put on a rush project, I like being able to show something for what I do every day. It should have been no surprise to me that enjoying work affects my whole life, but it is quite easy to forget it as I’ve been wrapped up in my work for my entire career.

While I wasn’t on the wrong track with my life, I now feel that things are going much better with me having time to relax. My side projects are kind of in a limbo state at the moment and will be winding down in the next few months. I’ve decided to not take on side projects for awhile which will be a huge change for me as I’ve had side projects going on (for the most part) since I left college 15 years ago.

I don’t claim to be a life coach or a motivational speaker, so take whatever I say with a grain of salt. I’m quite pleased with how things have worked out for me and am I’m going to do my best to keep on the same track and push work a little down in my priority list (work a full work week, but don’t work like a mad man).
