Ask Is it possible to maintain a healthy work life balance as a freelancer or is it always all or nothing?

[Edward22]

Freelancing sounds like the perfect setup for a balanced life, but many people find it harder to switch off than when they had a regular job. When you work for yourself, there is always one more task to do, one more client to reply to, and one more deadline creeping up. Some freelancers say they have figured out a good system, while others admit they are always either too busy or waiting for work. Have you been able to find a real balance as a freelancer, or does it still feel like one extreme or the other?
