Freelancing with Shashin Weeratunga

Freelancing is rewarding, empowering, difficult, wobbly, and a way of working that in many ways allows you to live life on your own terms. Freelancing is the most adult thing I can imagine because it requires you to be entirely responsible for your work, your time, your choices, your admin, everything. This week I get to talk to the brilliant Shashin, who is an advertising consultant, marketer, graphic designer and photographer. So basically, he’s like, a miracle worker. Sash is also just the most genuine, enigmatic, creative powerhouse and a bloody delight. Click on through to the show notes to see his work on Behance, or stalk his Insta for gorgeous landscapes.

Keep well,

Things We Mentioned

..... 

Getting great ideas in the shower, as it turns out, is a well-documented phenomenon. Apparently it taps into insight, and you can read all about it here in this fun blog from Headspace.

Adam J. Kurtz’s approach to tricking your brain into working is outlined in his book,which I grabbed on sale at Booktopia. His website is super fun and just a great way to spend your commute because it teaches you stuff AND makes you laugh AND feel less alone. Win win win! If you want to learn more about how to utilise your procrastination, you can check out this Medium article which does a good job of explaining it.
