How many hours do you work daily? And, can you actually go one day without being online with the internet or is it essential to your job as a freelancer?

The number of days I work daily depends on how much work I have to do. When, I am busy, I can pretty much work from 9AM until 12AM but obviously, I have lunch and dinner breaks; on top of that I also take regularly 10 minute breaks. On less busy days, it is normally 3-5 hours of work but I will probably be on my computer for most of the day. I can live without being on my computer if I don’t have tight deadline to meet but I probably can’t without my phone as I do need to make sure that I have good communication with clients.

Hello sanfora,
I usually work anything between 8 and 15 hours per day. A rough estimate would be an average of twelve hours. I do spend all that time online each day, staring at my screen, but I usually have some short breaks and watch something funny at Youtube or something similar. I also do some kind of grocery shopping each day so I can rest my body and get the some exercise, even though I understand it's not enough. But that way, I'll at least do something instead of nothing.

How about you sanfora? Do you exercise? How many hours do you work?

Best Regards,

I honestly never tried to go one day without internet. I check my mobile or tablet regularly even if I am out. I keep an eye on what emails are coming in! I used to check even when I wake up at night, but then I decided it was getting a bit too much so I started switching of my mobile. But other than that I am always online in one way or another and it is an important part of the job. I do not mind it and it is actually enticing to feel needed by your clients, and by prospective buyers. I got used to it and would not have it any other way. Regarding actual working hours I would say about 6 hours a day, depending on the day and how many orders I need to handle.

Hi sanfora thanks for a nice question. I can not ensure you how much or how many hours I am working each day. It is complete uncertain. When I was start a freelance career in that time I have given 17-18 hours for learning and working but at this moment I am passing 12-14 hours each day for completing task and I am always try to checking my profile on my mobile device or on tablet PC in 24 hours in a day until and unless slipping. And 7 days in a week and 12 months in a years. No vacation and no free times. It is really hard for freelancer how much time he will free in a day. As a successful freelancer always has to busy.

I envy the freelancers who have the whole day for their freelancing chores. As of now, I am honing my skills so that when the time comes that freelancing is my only option to earn at least I am ready. Presently, I can devote an hour or two for my freelancing work because I have a full time job in the office and also a family to attend to. And when I retire maybe I can put in 8 hours to freelancing work.

About 6 hours a day, 7 days a week. But I'm planning to give myself 1 day's rest per week starting november and increase my working hours to 7 hours a day. I feel that it's kind of hard to write 7 days a week so I'll be giving myself a rest day come next week.
