I definitely relate to this! I started my own business so that I could make a move I wanted to and not have to find a job. I also wanted to be able to set my own schedule every day - as you mentioned in a video, if you wake up and it is nice, go hiking.

In many ways, I found that freedom...yet I struggle to remember that. After years of working Monday through Friday, I constantly have to remind myself that most weeks I don't HAVE to follow that. If I want to work on Sunday and take Monday off (or do content creation or personal projects) I can.

I also find that there are so many projects I want to do, but I do not have the hours in the day to do them. I need time off, also.

It is an ongoing thing to try to find the right balance. And I have learned that once I find a balance, something will happen to throw that balance off. Then I have to work to find it again. Such is life!

Good luck and please, keep up the good work. I am really enjoying your emails and videos. Though I am in my late 50s, so much of what you talk about resonates with me, something I struggle to find elsewhere.
