How I’m Trying to Freelance While Failing Math (Send Help 🫠)

No one talks about how lonely it is to try and build a business while all of my friends are trying to pass math (me too) (I’m losing the battle). And it becomes even harder when most of them don’t even understand what I’m trying to do and just tell me to focus on school.

I don’t blame them, though, because I didn’t understand all of this copywriting thing at first. 

Heck, I even thought it had to do with copyrights and laws and all that stuff. Yes, I was pretty lost. 

But I think what has kept me going is reminding myself every single day why I’m doing this. Why am I losing all of my free time for just a silly little dream that I don’t even know if it will come true? 

It’s hard to juggle this dream to have a business of my own and all my schoolwork while trying to enjoy life.

And I don’t make it any easier for myself. 

I am what I like to call a pro-crastrinator. 

Get it? 

It is so hard for me to sit down and practice or get my damn English homework done for good. 

I just tell myself that I work better under pressure, and probably you too. Come on, we both know that’s a lie. 

All that brings me is a LOT of shame, low grades and slows my freelance journey, plus makes me feel so guilty. 

I know you probably feel the same, so I just wanna remind you that you’re worth more than what you did or didn’t get done today. You’re not alone.

Overcoming the little bug of procrastination 😣

Procrastination has been a BIGGG roadblock for me in this journey. I even planned to write this yesterday, but TikTok had other plans. Womp womp. 

Some days I just stare at my to-do list, then at my bed, then back at my to-do list, then at my gaming set, and then at my to-do list again, and I try not to cry. 

The workload of a senior year student is huge, but not bigger than my will to procrastinate 😉

This is where I want to hear from you. Tell me your most unhinged tips to be stronger than that little monster called procrastination. Write that in the comment section below to give me a hand and to others that might come across my page.

For me, it’s not unhinged at all, and it is this awesome app called Finch.

Omfg, you have no idea how much I love this app. It’s about this cute little bird that you have to take care of. And you do that by taking care of YOU.

So, you write your goals for today, and by completing them, you get to watch him grow, go on adventures, and learn something new every day. 

But also you get money to buy your bird clothes and decoration for its house. 

This app has helped me stay motivated because why wouldn’t I want to look after my virtual son??

I have to remind you that this isn’t a sponsorship (I wish it was) I just love that goddamn app so much.

If you liked this post and want more behind-the-scenes chaos, tips, digital hugs, and photos of my handsome cat, drop your email. I’ll be your freelance buddy.

Peace!
