My friends often make fun of how rigid I am about [working]. I think they often overlook the fact that although I don’t have to report to a boss, and nobody would fire me, I still need to report to myself, and if I don’t get my work done it’s bad news. I never thought about it like that. This is exactly the response I get from people who don't understand that working for yourself doesn't mean not working.
