Taking a Break from Fiverr
Now, if you've been a freelancer for any length of time, you know that sometimes you just need a break, mental health and making sure you take care of yourself and your family is more important than any amount of projects that you can get on the fiber platform or anywhere else for that matter. So in this lesson, I want to share a little bit of an insight in regard to my personal experiences with taking a break from fiber and how you can do the same to make sure you are always taking care of yourself mentally and physically. Now, when you're on your fiber dashboard and you go to this little button here, you'll see a little tab called profile and when you click profile, it will take you to this page where you can ultimately set your availability here in this section. Now, for me personally, as I've said before earlier in the course, I am currently not taking on any new projects because I simply just don't want to spread myself too thin. I'm making a lot of courses over the next two month...
s. I'm also getting ready for my little boy to arrive who is going to be here in a couple of months and we're also moving house and tons of other things going on. And when I am servicing a client, whether it be through fiber or whether it be directly through my website, I want to make sure that I can 100 per cent commit to and support that client to help them get the best results possible. So make sure you don't feel bad about taking a break from fiber. It is not a bad thing. Now, the only thing that I would say is taking break for more than a month on fi without doing anything on the platform that may harm your profile a little bit. So what I would probably do is I would maybe take three weeks and I would maybe come back for a week just to do maybe one project or two projects and then I would go back on holiday or to be marked as unavailable so that I can focus on the other areas of my life require my attention. Now, if you need some further clarification, if you click edit here, you can simply choose the date which is the first day of your holiday and then the last day of your holiday where you can basically make sure that nobody contacts you within that time period. The fact of the matter is people can still contact you and people have been still contacting me whilst I've been unavailable. But you can basically click this button here to say that no clients can contact you within that time period. I like to keep that open because maybe I want to book a project for later on in the year, which is going to be when I'm more available and more open to taking on projects. And you can also add a little optional message here where you can basically just say listen, this is why I'm away from fiber for this moment in time. But please feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions or if you need any support, I'm more than happy to help on a direct basis to try and give you a little bit of guidance and support that you need at this time. And once you finish that simply click save changes and there you go, you are set as unavailable and everything is ready to go. Now, if for example, you want to come back a little bit early and you don't want to take your full holiday, then you can simply just click set to available and that will allow you to come back and be active on the platform and start getting new projects. No matter how long you freelance, you always need to make sure that you dedicate some time away from working directly on projects to get other areas of your life in place. And the fact of the matter is, although it can feel extremely productive to just continue working and just battle on through it. And sometimes you have to do that, but sometimes you need to put the more important things first, such as family moving house and taking care of some other things like your health and your mental health. So keep this in mind do not feel bad about taking a break on fiber and I will see you in the next lesson.
