Being a freelance translator can be challenging. On top of earning a living, we need to find new clients, manage our time, attend networking events, take care of admin and marketing, and keep up our own training and development. All of which adds up to a lot of responsibility and potential for stress – all the more so when you’re in lockdown.
This session looks at possible causes and reinforcing factors of burnout, discusses how to prevent it by striking a healthy work/life balance, and offers practical tips and everyday tools that can help you to combat stress. As freelancers, we tend to focus on our careers and sometimes neglect our personal wellbeing, especially in times of stress. Looking after ourselves in every way is the best way to ensure we’re going to stay healthy and continue to be able to work and enjoy life.
