Balancing Freelancing with Hands-On Hobbies Like Equine Therapy and Fossil Hunting

Business Freelancing
1

Freelancing gives me flexibility, but I’ve noticed it’s easy to let work bleed into time I’d rather spend on things like equine therapy or digging up fossils. Both are pretty immersive, and I’d hate to lose that sense of discovery or connection just because my inbox is overflowing.

How do you all carve out dedicated time for hands-on hobbies without feeling like you’re neglecting work or burning out trying to do both? Do you schedule rigid blocks, or is there a trick to staying present when switching between projects and passions? I’d love to hear what’s worked for others.

Set hard boundaries treat hobbies like client meetings, non-negotiable. Turn off notifications when you’re in the zone, hustle harder when you’re on the clock. Balance ain’t pretty, but it pays off.

Set hard boundaries or you’ll drown in work. Turn off notifications and treat hobbies like non-negotiable meetings no excuses. If you don’t fight for your time, no one else will.
