As a freelance (自由职业的) writer, the structure of my workday can often vary wildly. Sometimes, it feels as if I have too much to do — other days, too little. Yet no matter the shape of my 9 to 5, one thing remains constant: emails.

About a year ago, I found my email-checking habit had become more distracting than usual. When working on my computer, I found myself nervously checking my phone for unread emails whenever hitting a mental block. Even worse, during lunch or walks, that habit of checking would come with me, making my breaks an extension of the workday.

The little red dot on my Gmail app had become a marker of my professional image: the faster I responded, the

more I was seen as reliable by my paymasters. By responding to everyone immediately, I convinced myself I could secure more work — after all, I needed to pay my electricity bills.

However, speed didn’t always mean quality. I took on too much work, not allowing myself space to reflect on the value of my output. The content machine kept running, and I was busy producing “word salad” onto the internet.

After a particularly crazy week of non-stop emailing, I deleted the email app. The difference was immediately noticeable. I began to rest better. Now, my workdays remain unpredictable, but I’ve realized that a lack of structure wouldn’t stop me from setting boundaries for myself. Uninterrupted breaks help me focus when I return to work. Taking a few hours to respond to messages — instead of just minutes — often makes no difference to the sender and allows me to digest requests properly.

I am still surviving as a freelancer in a fast-paced industry, but now I can spend my time endlessly checking my phone for Instagram stories instead.
