Fatigue and Focus as a Freelance Dev

Working as a surveyor during the day and as a beginner web developer at night!!

Hey everyone, Michael here. Over the past two weeks, I've been working on my first freelance project. I work full-time as a property inspector at a real estate agency during the day, and at night, I've been working on this small project, which is a landing page for a high-risk inspection company.

During this time, I got really tired from the routine and took a 2-day break. Yesterday, I got back to the project and managed to refactor some components (I'm using Next.js for the project). I realized that every day I'm learning more, even though what keeps me focused is discipline.

I hope to deliver the project on time and successfully complete my first freelance gig. Thanks for reading this far, and I appreciate any feedback, tips, or valuable critiques. Cheers!!!
