I worked part-time for half of 2015 and most of 2016. Most of those gigs were with a small number of clients that couldn’t justify hiring a designer/developer unicorn full-time but were not cash-strapped either. They were mostly American as well which really helped offset the time commitments being a Canadian. With my extra time I mostly read, visited museums, worked on a game prototype and travelled between cities along the Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal corridor (since I worked remotely it didn’t matter where I was). I think the only thing I would have done differently was get out of Canada more often. I had insane flexibility but didn’t take advantage of it as much as I could have. This year I’ve gone back to working closer to full-time and with predominantly Canadian clients. However I’ll probably try to resurrect the routine I had just mentioned.
