I had a slow week this month, nothing out of the ordinary though, and then I got another e-course to translate and at the same time my longest-standing customer has been busier than usual. Anyway, I’m expecting some slowdown. | | | | Dan Lucas United Kingdom Local time: 19:32 Member (2014) Japanese to English

Because several of my non-business appointments were cancelled I suddenly have more free time than expected. Time for the spring cleaning. | | |
Until tomorrow. I may experience an sharp decrease in altitude from tomorrow. I'm bracing myself. Philippe | | |
I have a surge of work and requests for more. Sleep is over-rated, right? | | |
... teaching takes quite a lot of time, and after the 'school' day I'm totally exhausted. So I worked two full days in the weekend, and will probably do hardly anything during the week, except for binge watching The Bridge in the evenings. | |

Work has been steady for the past 6 weeks, and I've even had to turn down a few jobs from regular customers. Whether incoming jobs will remain at the same level is uncertain. | | |
but I suspect worse is yet to come | | |
No work and just one walk outside a day. Struggling to find excuses not to write my novel now. | | |
I've had less work because most international organizations, my main clients, are shut down. On the other hand, I'm catching up on many long-standing projects and filling every minute of my day. I feel busier than usual. | |

I'm fixing things at home, cooking, cleaning up, "inventing" stuff so that I don't waste all my time playing games or watching TV with all this extra spare time. Jobs are showing up sporadically, but with a much lower frequency/volume. | | | Egmont Schröder Germany Local time: 20:32 Member (2013) Chinese to German + ...
March was the busiest month 2020. Maybe it is because I am working in the medical field, which should not be influenced by these events. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Poll: Given recent world events, do you find yourself with more time on your hands?
