When freelancer couples enable each other's inability to stop working

My partner and I are both freelancers and we love the freedom but we're terrible at taking time off because there's always more work we could be doing and we enable each other's workaholism. We say we're free but we never actually stop working.

What we've seen

Freedom from external schedules can become enslavement to internal drive when two people reinforce each other's patterns.

Worth thinking about

“Where Are You with Time and freedom — when you control yours?”
