Your top 1 of each, I'll go first:
Best: Spending my days outdoors, hiking boots on, laptop in the bag, periodically sitting to write code, process flows, or solution ideas
Worst: Browsing Freelance Job Listings whilst losing my sense of self-worth (similar to the social media infinite feed effect)
Maps to: Life when in contract vs life without one (or enough of them)
Best: The wide variety of things you can do including, probably my favorite, nothing at all
Worst: The endless searching for work that is necessary because there is no illusion of job security (like in a real job)
Best: Being able to schedule work (efficiently, productively) myself and being able to use so many different tools (and seeing new developments).
Worst: Having no fixed timetable or time to really switch off.
Best: no more waking up to an alarm clock.
Worst: sell, sell, market, sell, market, market, sell, sell, put out a fire, sell, market.
Best: That I can pick my clients and who I want to work with.
Worst: No one pays me to nap, read the news, walk my dog, drink coffee, or anything else that's not directly tied to the work they need done.
Best
Picking up my own client's and working on what I truly enjoy doing. The best thing money can buy is freedom, and we have that as freelancer.
Worst
As such nothing, may be in the initial days when applying for the job was my full time job on Upwork, but now a days when I am not working, I am already working on enhancing my skills or adding more flares to my profile.
