  1. It sounds cool (this is kinda a joke…but it does, doesn’t it? Hehe)
  2. You can drink a beer while working at 1 o’clock pm (or am!)
  3. No boss
  4. No sassy colleagues
  5. Animal secretaries and assistants
  6. Going surfing at 10 o’clock am, when the waves are good, and nobody is out there
  7. Working in pajamas, or sweats…or naked? Yea! You’re a Freelancer!
  8. Working (“working”) at cafés…or bars…or on the beach
  9. Midday workouts, yoga, Pilates, horse-back riding
  10. Random travel at any time of the year (like taking off for the BlogShop workshop in Paris in October!)
  11. A smaller carbon footprint
  12. Not having to commute (reducing risk of injury from self- or other’s road rage)
  13. Not having to smell other people’s smelly armpits on public transport
  14. Causing life-style envy
  15. Taking an afternoon off “just because” and working the hours you want to work (which for me usually means from 5-6 am to 1 pm…)
  16. Multi-tasking includes going to the other room for baby visits, ladling broth into the risotto, emailing clients, perusing Amazon.com, painting toe nails, translating documents, patting the dog’s head, researching work-related information, making the bed, listening to spotify, writing blog posts, checking out potential PhD programs, doing laundry and sending out invoices.
  17. Having time to cook extremely yummy and almost-too-healthy meals for my family on a daily basis
  18. Feet are not sore at the end of the day from fancy heels
  19. Being as messy or stylish or disastrous as you want with your workspace.
  20. Baby and critters in your office.
