It’s probably been 6 months since you made weekend plans. More than that? Let’s round it up and say it’s been a year of continuous work and overload of expense management.
We understand how difficult and unrealistic it can be to take a break while your earnings directly depend on the amount of work you get done. What if we told you that there are ways to keep the money flowing even if you pause? Not having a healthy work-life balance can cause problems in the long run that will inevitably challenge your gig work.
Create avenues for passive income
If you drive rideshare and own the car then rent it for the time that you are planning to take off.
In case you are a freelancer or working with food delivery platforms like Uber Eats or Menulog you always have the option to earn from survey and research websites that pay you for filing forms using just your mobile phone!
Volunteer
Volunteering can become an effective release and change from the everyday hustle. Usually when you volunteer the available perks are sponsored stay and food.
Three for none, if you ask us, you get to save on the expenses of a conventional break, experience the joy and satisfaction of contributing to a good cause and meet like minded people you share hobbies and interests with! Some volunteering opportunities even come with a handsome stipend amount.

Separate and track your expenses
Look for expenses during your break that can culminate into your business expenses. This is why it’s important to track and separate your expenses regularly.

Create a sustainable plan for seasonal lay off
It’s not always about taking a break. Sometimes you don’t have an option but to be out of work simply because it’s not a very productive time of the year for your specific business.
Plan and skillfully tackle this seasonal spell with a tool that allows you to access true financial independence, flexibility and potential to expand your gig work to create a steady income just like any other traditional employee!
