Ask HN: Any freelancers here? I need burnout advice
I have about 3 Yoe webdev/+physics/mech eng degree. Worked a few contracts then my own Saas thing, now pretty burned out. Don't really need funding or a team, just a bit of time.
Was thinking to just to dumb manual labour while I recover/finish my product. I don't think I can hack a 3 month job hunt for a "legit" job and I feel like taking tech contracts will also create a lot of mental overhead since I'm in the headspace for my own work right now.
Maybe tutoring would be better than Ubereats gig work, but honestly a lot of software contracts seem to be turned into BS gig work and at least with manual labour you are doing something real.

Looking for validation and ideas.
