I\u2019m currently sitting on my friends sofa, listening to the washing machine and a\u00a0neighbour with his hedge clipper, with a 9-5 job to go to on Monday. Not what\u00a0I was planning 2 months ago.\u00a0I\u2019m freelancing now, but it\u2019s still 9-5, 5 days a week. I’ve left my flat, but renting a friends spare room.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m tired of being tired. Of working 5 days a week, stuck in traffic to and from work, of being so tired by the weekend that all I want is sofa time to recharge before starting the week again. I\u2019ll get ideas during the work day\u00a0and can\u2019t wait to get home to try them, but by the time I’m home, all energy is gone.<\/p>\n

\"Traffic-words\"<\/p>\n

I have struggled with the time\/money balance. I used to work for a long block of time\u00a0then travel until broke.\u00a0My dream has changed to flexible work with the ability to work while travelling. The idea of working hard from anywhere for 2 months then disappearing off to Africa for a month. Why not? I want to try.<\/p>\n

So what are my steps?<\/h5>\n

I\u2019m currently reading \u2018The 4-hour Work Week<\/a>\u2019 and\u00a0the first 60 pages have already fired me up. He talks about peoples fears and excuses for avoiding doing what they want. He\u2019s very much into writing down your dreams and breaking down the steps to achieving them.<\/p>\n

So what are my dreams and how am I going to achieve them?<\/p>\n
