I didn’t believe specially made glasses whilst at my computer, specifically worn at night, to block blue light would help me sleep better or make me more productive.

Since I began writing on Medium, two months ago, I wanted to find any productivity hacks that would allow me to write for longer periods, and be able to stay in front of my computer screen comfortably.

Becoming a freelancer can be a hard decision to make because of the preconceptions society has instilled in us. Having freelanced most of my life as a digital consultant, some friends and family still believe having a full-time job is the best option. This may be true if you‘re interested in becoming a doctor.
