    I’ve finally listened to myself and managed to set clear boundaries with my client. Today is my first real actual day off in months. Like wtf.

    It feels totally off and it’s hard not to be vigilant, as if something could go wrong any moment and needs my immediate attention. When I wake up the first thought in my head is some math problem for my client.

    However I’m real proud of the step I took and I know in the long run it’s going to be good for me :]

      Well done for setting boundaries like that!

      I keep reminding myself and my friends that, unless your work literally means life or death for your customer/client, our work isn’t so important that you need to work hours and hours of overtime to finish it instead of completing it the next day. And if the amount of work you receive each day is larger than the amount you can complete, it is a pretty safe sign that you need more personnel (provided your time management already is good).
