Spoiler: it's just communication.\nOur addiction to clear roles and responsibilities, and clarity in client relationships in general.\nWorking hours challenges across roles and timezone differences.\nOur struggles with context switches and some tools we tried to stay sane.\nThe tools we use and don't use for managing our tasks.\nAnd all the work we don't do, but should be doing for a successful freelancing business.\nGrab your headphones, and head to the nearest park to walk with us!\nPs. If you want to chime in, send us a DM or leave a comment on our Instagram - we're @paths.puddles.products and would love your feedback!\nQuoted Podcast: Focus on this! by Courney Baker, Verbs (Mike) Boyer, Blake Stratton","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/9sliBreJJTECtGotsHsQQ7hRi26hvr9cwmeo05jFneg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQxNzk1LzE2ODQ3/ODQxMDktYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
