Freelancing is a dream for many: the freedom to choose your projects, set your hours, and work in spaces that inspire you. But alongside the perks, there’s a shadow side—burnout. The long hours, constant self-management, and isolation can creep up, leaving even the most passionate freelancers drained. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you stay connected, energized, and far away from the burnout zone.

As we move into a new era of work, one thing is clear: the traditional office model is no longer the default.
