If you could choose, what would your dream workday If you could choose, what would your dream workday look like? How would you like to start your day? Who would you like to work with? Have you ever wondered what your workday would look like if you changed places, for instance?
When I was a child, I knew 100% that I didn’t want to work with a computer. Poor little me!! Little did I know that I would be working with my laptop every single day… but not from an office! It’s as easy as taking it with me to the places that I most love!
So tell me... What's your favorite place on Earth to work from?

Have you ever thought that blogging stops you from Have you ever thought that blogging stops you from working on other projects? 🤷🏻‍♀️​​​​​​​​
Sometimes, you need to focus on other areas of your business, like promoting affiliate launches, creating your own products, or attending a conference. 💵​​​​​​​​
And other times, you just need a break. 🏝​​​​​​​​
But how can you find the time to do so if you're supposed to create weekly content for your blog and social media? 🤪​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
🎯 Planning and working ahead to schedule your blog and social media posts is the only way to keep your blog running while you focus on something else - or while you're lying on the beach, your call! ​​​​​​​​
📌 Whatever you want to do with your blogging-free month, I usually work in phases/batches, dividing the tasks that need to get done to schedule blog and social media posts for four weeks:​​​​​​​​
👉🏼 Planning Phase​​​​​​​​
👉🏼 Brainstorming Phase​​​​​​​​
👉🏼 Content Creation Phase​​​​​​​​
👉🏼 Image Selection & Scheduling Phase​​​​​​​​
👉🏼 Newsletter Phase​​​​​​​​
[link in bio @borntofreelance to check out each phase in detail!]​​​​​​​​
So what do you think? Do you usually work ahead to schedule your posts in advance?​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​
And yes, as impossible as that might seem when you are sitting at your desk without hardly any time to meet your friends, go shopping, let alone hit the gym, believe me: It is doable to earn money while traveling, but only with lots of planning and discipline:​​​​​​​​
1. Plan ahead, before you start your journey​​​​​​​​

Wanna know the #1 secret productivity booster that Wanna know the #1 secret productivity booster that will cost you no money and will help you move forward to reach your goals while keeping your sanity???? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
👉🏼 It's called TAKING BREAKS. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Yep. If you're honest, you know you aren't being productive 100% of the time you're sitting in front of your computer. You can't be. Your mind needs a break, and so do you! 🤪​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So let's do a super quick exercise: ​​​​​​​​
🎯 Take one deep breath in… and let one deep breath out. 🧘🏻‍♀️​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Can you do this for just 10 seconds? Good. When you take a moment to just breathe, I promise it will be worth every second! 💫​​​​​​​​

What do you think? 🧐​​​​​​​​ Th What do you think? 🧐​​​​​​​​
They say that freelancers never go on holidays. And, if they do, it is never 100% holiday. It is rather half work, half remorse for being unproductive.​​​​​​​​
Do you agree? 🏝​​​​​​​​
Are you a freelancer who never dares to take a break out of fear of losing your clients? Or because you think that you'll miss “the project of your life”?​​​​​​​​
Well, let me prove to you why freelancing doesn’t mean sacrificing your holidays! ☀️​​​​​​​​
In fact, we become freelancers to be in control of our time and our life. So why should we not enjoy traveling and having holidays whenever we want? 😎​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
🎯 Follow these steps to plan ahead and enjoy your holidays:​​​​​​​​
1️⃣ Identify your periods of low workload​​​​​​​​
2️⃣ Plan your time ahead​​​​​​​​
3️⃣ Plan your finances ahead​​​​​​​​
4️⃣ Keep open communication with your customers​​​​​​​​
5️⃣ Change your mindset​​​​​​​​

Websites, blogs, landing pages… If you’re thin Websites, blogs, landing pages… If you’re thinking about creating your own webpage and find yourself in the researching stage, I bet you’ve seen these terms more often than not. But do you really know the difference between a website and a blog? Aren’t they the same thing? And more importantly, do you need both of them? What are they good for? 🤷🏻‍♀️​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So let's see the main difference between websites and blogs:​​​​​​​​
📌 A website is static, it always looks the same. It's perfect as a digital business card, where you can tell the world about your services or products.​​​​​​​​
📌 A blog is dynamic. You should be adding new posts regularly, and they usually appear chronologically, updating the front page automatically every time you publish something new. Very Pinterest-y! ​​​​​​​​
👉🏼 In fact, creating a blog but not updating it doesn’t actually make much sense.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
🎯 Now, you may still be wondering: Then… should I have a blog? Well, that’s something you’ll have to decide, I’m afraid! If we recap everything we’ve talked about so far, I’d say that having a blog would be a good idea for you if:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
📝 You like writing. And I mean consistently writing. In fact, blogging is a perfect way for aspiring freelance writers to get their customers to discover their writing skills. So if this is something you could imagine doing, what are you waiting for? Blogging is your thing!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
💵 You want to attract people to your site – either to buy your products or to profit from ads, paid blog posts, or affiliate marketing – without having to spend any money on publicity.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
 👯‍♂️👯‍♂️You’d love to create a community whose members you can help and teach. 🥰​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So tell me... Do you have a website or a blog? Feel free to DM me if you'd like to share it with me, or if you have any questions! 💫​​​​​​​​

Who else has the itch to travel?! 🏝 Let me reph Who else has the itch to travel?! 🏝 Let me rephrase: Who else has the itch to travel but can't because of work?!​​​​​​​​
So why don't you work while traveling? Or travel while working? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
👩🏻‍💻 Did you know that there is a job that is IDEAL to travel the world? 🥁🥁🥁 Freelance writers!!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Some might think that writing is a lonely job, but what if I told you that it can also be the gate to meeting new people, new countries, and new cultures? Let me tell you what they (don't) need and find out for yourself! 👇🏼​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
❌ Freelance writers don't need:​​​​​​​​
- a fixed work schedule​​​​​​​​
- a specific place to work​​​​​​​​
- a specific time zone​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
✅ Freelance writers need:​​​​​​​​
- a laptop​​​​​​​​
- Internet (to do some research and to get/send projects, but not much more)​​​​​​​​
- Inspiration! New places! New people! New experiences!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So freelance writers not only have it very easy to travel the world, they SHOULD TRAVEL THE WORLD! ✈️​​​​​​​​

Do you ever feel like giving up? 😰​​​​​​​​
When everything seems to be falling apart, the first thing we tend to do is forget about those projects that make us happy. They just don't seem so important anymore.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But you know what? It is especially in those moments that you need to give it all and stick to your goals.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So if you think you have no time to stay focused on your goals, check out these suggestions 👇🏼 and keep a cold mind when you're feeling overwhelmed. 🤯​​​​​​​​
🧘🏻‍♀️ Stay calm. Breathe. You need to keep a cold mind. So, even though it might seem impossible and not relevant, take time to go out for a walk.​​​​​​​​
📝 Write down a to-do list.​​​​​​​​
📌 Focus on the most urgent issues.​​​​​​​​
🎯 Set one goal for the day.​​​​​​​​
👣 Break down in TINY steps any tasks you are going to tackle.​​​​​​​​
💫 If you have children, don’t try to work if you know it won't make any sense. Use your spare time with them to unplug.​​​​​​​​
👩🏻‍💻 Sit down and work only when you know that you have at least 30 uninterrupted minutes.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
