&gt; I would think I&#x27;m not the only one who doesn&#x27;t even remember what weekends or holidays are anymore.<p>I&#x27;ve been also self-employed for 7 years, started as startup co-founder, rented office in the best tech hub in my city, etc. Then we started to cut costs, ditched the office and started remoting and freelancing for several clients. It&#x27;s been 4 years working from home now and sometimes I hate it, but other times I like it.<p>I think the authors of that article are spot on. Having the schedule you dreamed about, means nothing if you don&#x27;t have anyone to share the good moments...<p>This year probably I&#x27;ll start travelling. One colleague who is a top-notch SEO, is doing the nomad thing and he seems really happy travelling and living 6-8 months in different places of the world, sharing co-working spaces, meeting new people, etc...
