Want to change career but feeling overwhelmed? Experts say take your time

Quick summary:

1. When thinking about a career change, there are very real practical considerations to take into account, alongside navigating the emotions involved in change, says coach Laura Bentley, who works with women wanting to change their lives and careers (thatbalancedlifecoaching.com).

2. This can lead to feelings of fear, doubt and uncertainty, all of which can make career change a stressful prospect – and if you are feeling this way, it helps to first acknowledge those feelings.

3. It's easy to view things like fear and uncertainty as 'negatives' – signs of weakness that we must try and fight or deny

I spent 6 months painstakingly planning my return to the freelance world, and 3 strategies have made all the difference

Recent highlights:

1. Leaving big city life behind and taking the leap from renting to home ownership during the pandemic helped lay the groundwork for another big life change: resigning from my permanent, full-time, salaried job in the non-profit sector to return to the world of freelancing.

2. While I may not be as comfortable financially as I was when I worked a salaried job (yet!) I'm basing my feelings of abundance on my proven track record of earning potential, not on the amount of money in my checking account at a given time

I Work for Myself—These Are The Productivity Hacks That Actually Help Me Get Work Done

Recent highlights:

1. I also make better use of dead time like small gaps of time in between meetings by scheduling out quicker tasks like responding to emails during that time.

2. As tempting as it is to fill all that space with to-dos (remember, I make more money in a day if I get more done), I find that taking a few breaks throughout the day makes it easier to focus on tasks once I start them and to get them done in a timely manner. 

3. I like to block my day into four main time blocks: early morning, mid-morning, early afternoon, and late afternoon
