Hi. I live in a Western European country and am self-employed and work from home. I make about 60k yearly with about 20 hours of actual work per week. I don’t actually like my work and have always strived to work less.
However, I feel I let work dictate my day too much. I usually feel very free and rested during the weekends and don’t think about work at all. But during the week, I often feel as though I should be at the computer working, even though often, I have nothing to do. This leads me to waste a lot of time browsing the web and social media. I also feel that perhaps I feel a bit lost if I don’t work. The amount of options is just so overwhelming that it gives me anxiety. Sometimes I just don’t know what I want to do and it paralyses me. How do I get over this and start living my life freely without focusing on work too much?
