The Freelancer Trap

No boss means no one tells you to stop. You start work at 9am. Suddenly it's 11pm, you haven't eaten properly, and you're still "just finishing this one thing."

Or the opposite: you procrastinate for hours, then panic-work until midnight to meet the deadline.

The freelancer fix: Structured focus blocks with forced breaks. Diwa screams every 25 minutes. You rest, then return. Work expands to fill timeβ€”so give it less time.

Why Freelancers Need Diwa

Work-Life Boundaries

When home is office, everything blurs. Pomodoros create structure. Done for the day? Actually be done.
