I feel like I should do something.
Sometimes doing nothing is doing something.
No doubt true on some level, but I know on any given day that on average I will make something even if it isn't an awful lot, and being the middle of the week I often have nothing much else to do, (since normal people are at work). But then again even just taking an afternoon off to read a book or play on the ps4 could be said to be worth it. It's hard to get past the mentality of thinking I am "paying" quite a lot of money just to read a book. The problem with this game is there's always something to do and always money on the table, but I'm slowly getting better at realising it's not worth doing everything.(insert cliche), life's too short, money isn't everything etc etc.

It's the std dilemma that goes with any self-employed person.

Like when you want a holiday, you can't help but add on the cost of what you're missing out on and it seems really expensive. My wife's self-emp too so our time off seems crazy expensive. That's why you need to put 15%(?) of your wages in a tin marked "holidays/sickness/don't feel like it today". Anything still in there at the end of the year can be your xmas bonus.

My results become very weekend centric at this time of the year so I tend to be very defensive at other times. It's tough.

Already been away 3 times this year, but have no plans for anything major for the second half of the year because the opportunity cost is too high.

Glad to hear it's not just me. Always the case but the difference does feel particularly stark atm.

...and the glaring lack of friends in the photo ;)

I think you've just got a big TV and turned the heating up. Throw in a deckchair and a sandpit and you're sorted.
