Work anxiety is real
The side of solopreneurial life you don’t see online.
Hello dear friend
The main reason behind quitting my job was to live life the way I wanted. Travel places, do things I love, and take time off whenever I want without asking for anyone’s permission.
After a few months of writing full-time, I got the chance to plan a vacation. I booked tickets to a country I’d never visited before. I was thrilled that solopreneurship made this international trip possible.
The best part? I had an exciting new project waiting for me as soon as I got back. What more could I have asked for?
I wasn’t prepared for what happened next, though.
Instead of enjoying the time off, I was constantly worrying about when I’d be able to publish the new articles my clients had assigned to me.
The topics were running on a loop in my head, and I couldn’t stop thinking about the content brief, the structure I’d follow while writing, and how the client would react.
This took away the joy of the vacation and made me dread the work.
Bottom line: Work anxiety is real, and you constantly play the balancing game when you’re your own boss.
Here are a few tips that might help:
Learn how to detach from work
Set clear boundaries between work and personal time
Identify tasks you can delegate when you take time off
Develop routines to ease back into work mode once you return.
