On The Go

One thing I love being a freelancer as I have mentioned before is being able to do stuff you couldn't normally do if I was a regular office employee like paying utility bills and going to the bank. Although I have someone who could do these things for me, I do prefer to do them myself. What I would do is get some work done at home, go to where I needed to go, and then finish up the the rest of my work outside.

One place I usually hang out to finish my work is at The Coffee Experience here in our local mall. I could go to Starbucks but the WiFi speed there is abysmal, which is a no-no for my work. I have a quota and the quantity of my work depends on how fast I can access the internet. The free WiFi here is fast enough. I could also go to an internet cafe like Got Hub that offers a wired connection for laptops and save a few pesos, but I've noticed the speed has recently dropped. And besides, the couch at the coffee shop is much more comfortable.

Why I Love Working Online

1. Because I can wake up as early as 4:00 a.m. and have more free time in the afternoon or as late as 12:00 pm and have more free time in the morning to start my work.

2. Because I wake up, get up, relieve myself, brush my teeth, and wash my face then I'm ready to go. I could take my baths in the afternoon or earlier if I plan on working outside like in a cafe or something.

3. Because if I suddenly feel the urge to play with my dogs or my nephew or spend time with my partner, I just pause what I'm doing and go on ahead.

4. Because I don't have to pay for travel expenses or extra food.

5. Because if I want to go out of town and spend my money saved from travel expenses I'd just bring my trusty portable computer and my mobile internet with me and off I go.

6. Because if I want a longer weekend relaxation, I'd just work additional hours for the first few days of the week.

In short, because I could do what I want.
