I started my new job at Urban Outfitters this week, so I’ve been reflecting on the little things I’ll miss about the time I got to spend on my sabbatical & freelance time.
- Grocery shopping in the middle of the day while everyone else is at work.
- Running errands before rush hour.
- Time for regular morning pages.
- Scheduling appointments or car maintenance at non-peak times.
- Support in the form of coffee dates or lunches with other independent workers (like the lunch date at Terrain I had with Sarah last week).
- The opportunity to cowork at IndyHall or The Fireworks, a new coworking space just a couple blocks away from us in West Philly.
- Location independence — this past year we’ve been able to work from places like the Ace Hotel in Manhattan, Chicago, and Utah.
- The cats. I’m a legit cat lady.
Later this week, I’ll be sharing the flip side: What I’m looking forward to most about my new job & new schedule. This is quite a list, but I’m excited to share what’s compelled me to go back to the 9 to 5 world.
