</blockquote>Hi, I'm new to the forum and this post caught my eye.<br />
<br />
I remember trying to escape the routine as well, and have tried in various ways. First, I went to teach English in Asia for years - the routine changed, but there was still a routine. Then, I went to work offshore on oil rigs. My routine changed to month on, month off. Now I run my own copywriting and web design firm, and there's still some degree of routine. In fact, I found I HAD to create a routine to be able to make consistent profits.<br />
<br />
One of the dangers when you break free from the 9-5 is believing you can do what you want, when you want. This may be true if you have an income generating website or bestselling book, but for most businesses you need to make sure you put the business first and design your own routine. <br />
<br />
Once the routine is built stick to it and make sure other people in your life know what to expect. This last point is important - I've had family members get mad at me for turning down invitations because they say 'But you can work when you want' - there has to be some sort of line or you will find yourself socializing more than working on your business.<br />
<br />
Anyway, thanks and I look forward to reading and contributing more!</div>
