I have two deadlines, but they’re each two and three days away. Finish them and then take a day off or take a day off before getting to them?

Questions, questions.

I’m overworked, but not underpaid. I live in India. I don’t think I can ever complain about being underpaid again. That’s not to say I’m going to undervalue my work, but every day, I am reminded how very very lucky I am. I hope I never take it for granted.

So it’s been two months now since I returned from America and you may recall that Sam and I decided to change course from New York to New Delhi almost last minute. So I have, of course, thought about whether it was a good decision, bad decision, regrettable decision.

I’ve come to the conclusion that it was a great decision and that I may have to dedicate all future success in my career to Sam, for daring to suggest that we scrap months of our well-laid plans just days before he was going to leave India, and go with what obviously felt right to both of us instead.

Everything feels like it’s just fallen into place perfectly. I know that by saying that I risk jinxing it. As freelancers, there’s often so much to complain about. But sometimes, like right now, life is absolutely perfect, and it’s important to acknowledge that.
