Finding the Time for Exploration

On how we work less to be happier and to make clients happier as well.

The weather finally allowed us to venture out into nature: we took the dogs to Óbudai Island, and while they ran around in the grass and took a dip in the Danube, we rambled about our self-management experiences in the freelance world.

The path we took:

• How do we manage our day-to-day work?
• Our tricks for incentivizing clients and bosses to respect our time. Spoiler: it's just communication.
• Our addiction to clear roles and responsibilities, and clarity in client relationships in general.
• Working hours challenges across roles and timezone differences.
• Our struggles with context switches and some tools we tried to stay sane.
• The tools we use and don't use for managing our tasks.
• And all the work we don't do, but should be doing for a successful freelancing business.

Grab your headphones, and head to the nearest park to walk with us!
