Recently, many readers have asked me to write a “Day in the Life” post describing a typical day. Since my daily routine shifts frequently, I thought tracking and sharing one of my average days would be fun and helpful to others.
I also wanted to clear up some common misconceptions about what online business owners, freelancers, and bloggers actually do each day.
No, I don’t spend my whole day drinking coffee and scrolling Facebook. In fact, that’s what many people assume about the daily life of someone who runs an online business.
The reality is that I do real work—lots of it. Surprising, I know. 🙂
It wasn’t easy to write this because my average day can vary widely. One of the things I love most about freelancing is the freedom to set my own schedule and the flexibility to change it whenever I need.
Below is a typical workday for me as an online business owner, freelance writer, and blogger. I’m not perfect and I do let myself relax sometimes.
I’ll binge-watch a show occasionally, waste time on social media, and give my dogs long hugs. Some days I work intensely; other days I might do very little.
My workday is often scattered and looks messy on paper, so it’s difficult to pin down an exact number of daily hours.
