Sure I can work from 9pm-5am, but that won’t stop my clients from calling or expecting fast e-mail responses between 9am-5pm.

Sure you can work any hours you want, but you’ll find yourself spending most “normal” business hours working as well.

I believe the alt text on this web comic really sums up alternative sleep/work schedules best.

But hey, if you’re able to get away working whatever wacky hours you want, good for you! Just don’t try to dupe everyone into thinking its the norm.

I’ve blogged about the need to find a work/life balance before and this post just reinforces that. So many freelancers are afraid to take time off or to establish boundaries, but it’s absolutely crucial if you want to succeed.
