Summary

Freelancing gives us the freedom to work when we want, how we want—but let's be honest, it often feels more like 'work all the time or risk not getting paid.' That delicate balance between freedom and hustle can sometimes tip us straight into burnout. In this episode, I take a look at the realities of overwork, why burnout happens, and—most importantly—10 tried-and-true strategies I use to keep burnout at bay. In this episode, I mention my "Deciding what to charge" worksheet, which you can download here if you'd like to try it! And if you're not on the Training for Translators mailing list, you should join so that you don't miss anything!
