Hey there Freelancers! I wanted to write a quick review about an E-book I read a while back. I was just getting into essential oils and it was a daunting task to say the least. Where do I start? Which oils do I buy? How much do I use? What’s the point of all this? Plus…
After about a year of freelancing, I came to the sudden realisation that I sat, on average, 14 hours a day (8 working, 6 watching t.v./YouTube/vegging). My back hurt, my hips were tight, I was getting headaches, and my waistline was slowly but surely growing. I came to the point that I had to say…
I know many people think that freelancers are out having lunch or working at cafes and travelling the world only working when we want to, but that’s not really the case. Creating a successful freelance business is all about routine and self-care. Freelancers who have no ties and can island hop whenever they feel like are few…
So, I’m guessing you’re here because you’ve started looking into a stand-up computer desk for your home office, but you’ve seen a ton of pushback. Different scientific studies are saying they’re “worse than sitting” or that it’s all “smoke and mirrors” and don’t waste your money. There’s one massive misunderstanding though that people make when…
Varidesk continues to be one of the biggest names in height adjustable stand up desks and sit and stand desk converters. It has multiple lines of full desks, standing desk converters and accessories for each. However, I have one in mind today. I’d like to run through the Varidesk Adjustable Height Stand-up Desk Pro Plus…
Working at home can be incredibly convenient and rewarding. You don’t have to get ready to leave the house, there’s no getting everything packed up and taking it to work, and there’s no time wasted commuting to and from the office. However, working at home isn’t all rainbows and butterflies. It can be lonely. Really…
I’ve recently taken an interest in what plagues Freelancers on a daily basis. Some of the most popular responses I have received have been back/neck pain, headaches and wrist/hand pain. I’ve already covered back/neck pain in my article What About a Stand-Up Desk Workstation and headaches in How to Prevent Stress Headaches. Now I’m onto wrist and…
For many of us, typing and using our computer is how we pay the bills. I know for me as a translator and the writer of Healthy Freelancers, it certainly is. Over the months, the years and decades of being a freelance translator your hands, and especially your wrists take a beating from the repetitive…
Last year I finally took the plunge into being a full-time freelancer. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any of the equipment that I would need to work from home for 8 hours like, a standing desk, or chair. I guess all businesses have a start-up cost. Luckily for us (if you already have a place to live)…
Over this past year, I finally quit my teaching job to become a full-time freelance translator and work from home in my tiny 1 bedroom apartment. My bedroom and office are actually the same space, but the size of my apartment isn’t the point of this article. What is, is how I’ve noticed how my…
