I work as a freelancer, but I wanted also to work on some side projects. After 4 years I make more money with my side projects than with my freelancer jobs. Normally I work 30% as a freelancer and spend 70% of my time working on my projects. As a freelancer, you have still people (=clients) who tell you what to do, but with your side project, you are your own boss. you can work really fast and try new stuff out, it's much more fun.

I'm running to B2B SaaS with subscriptions. The more customers I have, the more time I spend on support tickets or billing stuff. I'm really bad at self-discipline, but after 6 years working from home I finally find a routine that works for me. I start working very early (around 4-5 a.m.) and try to keep my afternoon for my own projects or time outside. I also try not to use social media before 1 pm.

I've stopped judging myself when I sometimes have days where I do absolutely nothing. It's fine. I like to relax my mind and wander off a bit. There are other days coming where I'm working till late and are much more productive.
