If you’re a writer getting hit by writer’s block, know this… You’re not alone. In fact, that’s also the reason why I decided to start writing about some tips on things to do when you get hit by writer’s block.

You may notice that it’s been a while since the last time I posted the collab post on places to visit for Valentine’s day in January, and there’s a reason for it. And that’s the freaking writer’s block. It’s not that I have no idea what to write, because there are some experiences that I want to write about, although I just wasn’t inspired enough to start it. Ironic, isn’t it?

Well, in order to hoping that it will help me overcome my writer’s block, I decided to motivate myself by writing about some things I usually do when I get hit by it instead. So, what can you do to overcome writer’s block as a writer? Here we go!

4 Things No One Tells You About Being Your Own Boss

4 Things No One Tells You About Being Your Own Boss

Leave a Comment / career, entrepreneurship, tips / By

5 years ago, I recalled feeling unwell in Jakarta, and my aunt, my mom’s sister, had to come to my apartment and take care of me. At the time, it was pretty obvious that I got sick because of the stress I got from work. My aunt, who’s an entrepreneur, suggested that maybe it’s time for me to consider starting my own business. According to her, being your own boss opens the opportunity to manage your own time, and we have the liberty to take a rest when we need it.

Moving forward to today, I see where she came from, but I wish she could also share the disadvantage of running a business on our own. The fear of fluctuating income, the pressure to get your team to work together so that it’s time-efficient and effective to get the result you want, and the list go on.

It’s been almost 5 years since I jumped on the bandwagon to start my own business. 5 years as a self-employed freelancer, and almost 2 years as someone who runs her own business and manages a team to keep it going.

5 Reasons to Spend Your Digital Nomad Life in Izmir, Turkey

5 Reasons to Spend Your Digital Nomad Life in Izmir, Turkey

Izmir in Turkey has always had a special place in my heart. It is where I traveled overseas for the first time, and the city is also where I spent the summer far away from home for the very first time. So it is not rocket science when I decided to spend my semi digital nomad life in Izmir for the last couple of months last year.

Going back to Izmir became a journey for tracing back in time, wandering around full of nostalgic vibes. From walking around the seaside while people-watching, to visiting the good ol’ dormitory where I spent too much drama with the headmaster. Good time. LOL.

But of course, I’m not gonna rant about the personal side of the story this time. And instead, I want to share with you a few reasons why Izmir can also be an excellent alternative to make a homebase in your digital nomad journey in Turkey.
