Ask Do most freelancers work more hours than they did in their previous job?

[Brendan]

Freelancing is often seen as a way to gain freedom and control over personal time, but the reality may be different for many people. Some freelancers say they now work longer hours because they handle both client work and business tasks alone. Things like finding clients, sending invoices, and replying to messages can take extra time outside the actual job itself. Others feel freelancing gives them better balance because they can choose when to work. Do most freelancers end up working more hours than they did in regular jobs, or does it depend on how they manage their work?
