In a Day, No Change of Scenery for Online Freelance Workers

Sometimes, I can't help but go "bwsh" at people who say we are merely at home.

If there is one thing the regular office people can enjoy that we freelancers at home cannot, it's the change in pace or the break from being in the workplace when the clock strikes after 8 hours of work.

We do not have that luxury UNLESS we are strict about it to ourselves

But as I repeatedly say, online freelancers have this natural capacity to work and work and work even without prodding ... It is easy to get lost in work and work 12 hours, 16 hours on a project, especially if there are no children or partners to remind us to live.

However, one of our strengths is being able to tell ourselves what to do and do it.  So I guess we can tell ourselves to just stop.

But to repeat my point, regular office workers have the luxury to be told to stop.  And the commute home is a break for the brain to change the next situation to face, which is family then rest.

How about you online freelancer?  Is it easy for you to stop work for the day?
Are you good with the no change of scenery for most of the day and the weeks?

Regular office people. what's your take on this?
