Seasonal Sleep Strategies for Freelancers Over 50:

Dr. Jay’s Top Tips…

Dr Jay

This week, Dr. Jay dropped a few golden tips about how freelancers over age 50 can best take advantage of the seasonal changes with regard to improving our sleep patterns.

Here are some of the key tips to remember:

  • Create a Consistent Nighttime Routine: Establish a bedtime routine to signal to your brain that it's time to wind down. This could include reading, taking a warm bath with Epsom salts or essential oils, and limiting screen time before bed. Consistency helps regulate your sleep cycle.

  • Utilize Full-Spectrum Light Therapy: During shorter daylight hours, use a light therapy box or desk lamp that imitates natural sunlight to combat fatigue, mood changes, and disruptions in your circadian rhythm caused by seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

  • Avoid Caffeine and Alcohol Late in the Day: Limit caffeine consumption after early afternoon, and avoid alcohol before bed. While alcohol might help you fall asleep faster, it disrupts sleep later in the night, causing you to wake up and impacting overall sleep quality.

As a freelancer, you're the whole enchilada of your company, so being at your best, rested, healthy and alert, is essential. You not only want your business to run better, you want to be in top form to reap the rewards!

Thanks Dr. Jay!

Dr. Jay began his medical journey in India, inspired by a family legacy in healthcare.

After extensive training, he moved to the U.S. in 1972, specializing in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology.

Realizing the limits of conventional medicine, he embraced holistic approaches, particularly after encountering functional medicine pioneer Dr. Jeffrey Bland.

This shift led him to integrate nutrition and lifestyle treatments, improving patient outcomes.

A personal health transformation at 53 reinforced his dedication to holistic wellness, culminating in his 6-session program.

30+ ChatGPT Statistics You Need to Know Today – Trends, Usage, and Predictions

Get a handle on the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, here’s an article that will give you a clear snapshot of the chatGPT’s current standing and projected trajectory.

Don’t be fooled by the dates on the article. Instead, pay attention to ChatGPT’s progress throughout 2024 and note that each of the points in the article are currently highly relevant.

And as Winton pointed out on the webinar this week, at the end of this year, similar themes will once again be assessed and this article will be a stunning comparison of the growth of AI in general and usefulness of ChatGPT’s enhanced capacity!

STATISTIC OF THE WEEK

I love this timeless story from CNBC.com of someone taking a hobby or domain of knowledge they have and crafting their passion into a paycheck. It’s a perfect example of the freedom in Freelancing!

When I see stories like this, I am inspired by the endless opportunities available when you use just a little creativity. It’s so freeing when you don’t have to settle for any less than the things you really enjoy doing!

PRODUCTIVITY TOOL OF THE WEEK

I must start with a quick disclaimer: I’m not an accountant or bookkeeper, but I want to remind you that freelancing is still a business. That’s why this week’s Productivity Tool is here to help keep you on track.

When you use the simple strategies you learn from us at Barefoot Consultants, you can scale your business to whatever size fits you, but the bottom line is — yep, it’s still a business.

Enter FlyFin, a tax tool specifically designed for freelancers, with built-in AI capabilities. It’s an awesome year-round addition to your toolkit. My favorite feature? FlyFin's AI analyzes your expenses and automatically finds every possible tax write-off from over 200 deduction categories. Wow! 💥

Anything that keeps me from sifting through receipts at the end of the year is a win!
