I’m a self-employed contractor - been at it for almost 2 years now. Yesterday, a customer told me today was a national holiday, so I said, guess I’m taking the day off then.
Now I’m at home under a heated blanket, sipping coffee and watching YouTube videos. I still get this nagging feeling like I should call someone to say I’m not coming to work or something. It hasn’t quite sunk in that I’m my own boss.
It just feels like I got laid off 2 years ago and never went back to work. Sure, I’ve been working the whole time, but it doesn’t feel like it.
What type of YouTube videos are keeping you entertained today?
Tends to me mostly making-related stuff. Woodworking, house repairs, engine fixing and working with machinery, log cabins and homesteading, alternative living, EDC and gadgets, guns, offroading, dash- and bodycam videos, informational vids on random topics, movie analyses, geopolitics, prepping…
The algorithm gets a ton of crap, but in my narrow case, it actually does a solid job feeding me content I’m genuinely into.
