No worries , friend , it ' s a honeymoon phase and soon you ' ll come back to earth and work will be a priority What I do is work for 34 hours after a very light breakfast . I try to get my 13 most important things done , and ignore anything else that is thrown my way . I make sure to make these hours insanely productive because from 11126 I am free to explore . Once I get tired of walking around and seeing stuff , I actually want to sit and be on my computer again . And if I don ' t want to , it ' s not a huge deal . I made my morning so productive that I can usually not return to work for more than an hour in the evening , usually after dinner . Depending in the time zone difference of your clientemployer , the break during the day can be enough time to get a response back to the workemails I sent during the morning . So once the evening rolls around , I usually have 13 smaller things to get done to move the needle forward . Sometimes if I am not feeling work , but I need to , I ' ll hang out during the day and tell myself that with every important thing I get done this evening , I get a beer . So I work and drink and work and drink and my emails get pretty funny . I ' d love to get an email from drunk me .
