Freelancing for a year, and my boyfriend doesn't want to go back to work

Time flies, from last August to now, it's been almost a year since my college friends did freelance work and three years and three months since I did it.

Now I no longer stay at home alone and work, but become two people.

He also slowly adapted to the life and work of freelancing, from the beginning of the lazy resistance to becoming a self-disciplined little helper, and now he is told to go back to the days of squeezing the bus to work, I'm afraid he is ten thousand reluctant aha

If our income has been as stable as this, we won't consider going back to work, our life now is what I want, not to be rich, but to be comfortable.

A few days ago, some sisters asked about the work and rest of my freelancing, I only talk about my own experience, this time I will tell you about my daily work and experience with Dayan, whether you want to do freelancing independently or want to start a business with others, this article will be suitable for you.

time

01. How is the work task distributed between us?

Because his previous work is interior design, contact with self-media can be said to be zero change of profession, he is good at something is design, writing, and operating these he does not know anything, he also clearly stressed that he can not write articles, in addition to writing, told him to do anything.

To avoid future disputes, so the assignment of tasks we agreed on at the beginning, he is responsible for buying food and cooking, poster design, table production, and some chores, I am responsible for the operation of the self-media account and dishwashing, finishing the kitchen cleaning this piece.

Some other chores, similar to sweeping and mopping, daily cleaning, and maintenance of these we did not divide very fine (most of which he did aha), both people are involved in doing housework, and both people are also involved in the work, so far have not encountered any major conflicts.

02. Our life and work schedule

He is used to going to bed early and waking up early, it is very easy to fall asleep at night, sometimes one second he is still talking to me, and the next second he is asleep.

He doesn't need an alarm clock in the morning, he can wake up naturally at six or seven o'clock, so when I'm still asleep, he's in the kitchen tinkling to cook breakfast, and every morning after I get up and brush my teeth, I can eat breakfast on time.

After breakfast, we're each busy with our work, and the general schedule is as follows.

☁️ 8:00am-10:00am

I started to set the topic to writing articles, and looking for material, he also sat next to me, but I do not know what to do, maybe in the statistics writing punch cards, maybe doing travel planning, maybe learning to cook ...

☁️ 10:00am-12:00pm

He started to go shopping for food and cooking, I continue to stay in the study office, he came back from the grocery shopping I will run out to talk to him a few, asking what food bought today and what to eat for lunch, and so on, then go about their business ~

☀️ Around 1:00 pm

Two people eat lunch together while eating and chatting, after the meal, I wash dishes, and then walk around the house (summer is too hot to go out, winter will go downstairs for a walk), is lunch break time.

☀️ 2:30-4:30 pm

I continue the morning articles or do the Little Red Book pictures or multi-platform update articles, and so on, and he is also busy with some work chores, answering e-mails, helping to take pictures, and so on.

☀️ 4:30-5:00 pm

Between work breaks, this time both physically and brain are very tired, we will eat a small snack, or eat some fruit, drink drinks, talk about gossip in the study, and talk about life ideals aha.

17:00-18:00

He began to work out, and fitness after preparing dinner (usually heating the noon meal to eat), At this point specifically I do not know when they are busy.

In the evening after dinner we will go for a walk around the neighborhood, back from the walk is free time, he will watch TV and then sleep, while I continue to busy study, busy work, until rest and sleep.

03. What are our sources of income?

When he first resigned, some people were looking for him to do design, but he declined one by one. As all interior designers know, although the cost of a design plan is okay, there are many things to dock with the client, and there will be many hand-ends

So our source of income is mainly the self-media operation piece, public number, advertising income from Little Red Book, today's headlines traffic income, and knowledge payment and other income, and now the total monthly income is much higher than when I do it alone.

If I just do it alone, I think a monthly income of 5+ is almost the limit, a person's time and energy are limited, especially to a certain extent, if there is no one to share your work tasks and worries, you will feel very irritable

04. What do your friends and relatives think about freelancing?

In the beginning, his family didn't think much of doing freelance media, worrying that the income is not guaranteed, but after seeing that we bought and decorated a house and had a fixed study office, they are much more relieved, and now they won't say that freelance media is bad.

After all, we are not the kind of people who are lazy and spend a lot of money, we look quite honest and hardworking aha, no matter what work you do, as long as you are not doing things against fa, as long as your income is okay, relatives and friends will not talk about you how da ~

05. will not feel bored, lack of social interaction?

From the rental house in Guangzhou city village, to moving to Anshan district to rent a room, and then move into their new home, we have been in contact with a new environment and new things, so for the time being do not feel bored aha ~

His sister settled here, and we have a high school classmate who is also here, when you buy a house to consider these social impacts, relatives, and students occasionally get together, and then each is busy with each other's careers, so it's good.

I agree with the saying.

"The so-called freshness is to experience new things with old people, not very new people to cycle old things."

These days of freelancing together, I feel that every day is new and dynamic ~ we have experienced a lot of new things "from scratch" together, and we are always exploring new and wonderful things.

Today we're packing our bags for a trip to the North and South, a trip we've been wanting to take since last year.

Let's do this together.
