Some realizations about life, work, and sickness. :)
- Do not overwork yourself. Health is wealth. The money that you worked for will just go down the drain once you get hospitalized.
- Get enough sleep. Lack of sleep weakens your immune system. If you have a weak immune system, everything else follows.
- Have PHILHEALTH coverage, it helps with the hospital bills. If you can get an HMO, then it's much better.
- Inform your client, let them know your situation. They will understand.
- Be prompt with your tasks, make sure you don't have backlogs. So that in cases that you have a bit of "downtime," it's still manageable.
- Lastly, build your passive income streams. Find a way to earn even if you're not really "working." There are a lot of options such as financial investments, affiliate marketing, blogging, etc.
I am guilty of number one and two. I really need to reorganize my life right now. Thanks for this.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely guilty of number 2. Having a young baby that takes so much time of me, you think i be sleeping any chance i get. No. anytime baby goes to sleep, I am staying up to get some Me time. It can be a hard balance at times. Thanks for the reminders
ReplyDeleteI don't get much sleep. I take care of my family during the day and work online at night. I am lucky if I even get 4 hours of sleep!
ReplyDeleteI can't help myself but to leave a comment here. I am also a freelancer and everything you said here makes sense. I agree that we should take care of ourselves. Keep it up! :)
