My time is very flexible, and I don&#8217;t need to punch in at work. I arrange my work according to the urgency of projects. Usually, I get up at eight in the morning, exercise for half an hour, then have an energizing breakfast.\n  <\/p>\n  \n  <p>\n    At nine o&#8217;clock, I open my computer, handle emails, and respond to clients&#8217; requirements. My most focused time is in the morning, so I leave the most difficult tasks for this time. At noon, I simply eat something and continue working. In the afternoon, I participate in online meetings and discuss new ideas.\n  <\/p>\n  \n  <p>\n    In the evening, I watch video tutorials and learn new skills. I also browse design websites and search for inspiration. Before eleven o&#8217;clock, I turn off all devices and relax a bit. Although I don&#8217;t have a fixed schedule, I really enjoy this independent lifestyle.
