Vlog: A Week In The Life Of A Freelancer

Not only is Sueddu one of our favorite YouTube vloggers, but she’s also an inspirational creative freelancer. Her vlog style is silent with text narration accompanied by soothing music. The times when I feel like my schedule overpowers me with deadlines, I find myself relaxed and centered after watching Sueddu’s vlogs.

What the pandemic gave me was breaks from my over-structured life. Pre-pandemic it was all about sticking to the calendar and through the last year and a half I have learned how to let go of the daily minutiae. Instead of keeping up with my calendar, I allowed myself to have “me time” in between Zoom calls and basically relearned how to work efficiently from home.

Before the pandemic, I would watch Sueddu’s vlogs and believed that her style of freelancing looked so simple although difficult to attain. She takes little breaks whether it’s to meet a friend for coffee, take her dog on leisurely walks and move along her work week in such a calm, yet thorough manner. I am almost at that pace and it’s through studying her pace, her aesthetics, the simplest things from shooting the morning light coming through her bedroom window.

I still keep a somewhat hearty work schedule, but I’ve allowed more free time to just wing it. Freelancers are constantly busy, physically and mentally, but I have learned to appreciate the slower tempo of freelance life. So far it’s working for me.
