​On being a *sickie* freelancer 🤒

My 3-year-old niece loves FaceTiming me just to announce, “Auntie Robyn... I’m sick.”

And after spending the weekend with her, guess what? Now I’m sick. Should I call her up to let her know?

Being self-employed when you’re sick is both the best and the worst:

The Best bc you can shift deadlines, move meetings, and take a day off without needing a doctor’s note.

The Worst bc the to-do list still piles up, and you might feel like your entire week is going to hell.

That’s usually when mistakes happen: I’m tired, foggy, and working from bed, but still trying to keep things afloat.

On a good day I'm relying on shortcuts to save me from the chaos 🫠

Can we just give a round of applause for CMD+Z? That little buddy has saved my butt more times than I can count.

But sometimes, the undo gods don’t show up.

You frantically hit undo… and nothing. The dreaded “Oops, that’s gone forever” moment.

If you’re working in a ClickUp Doc and you accidentally delete a chunk of text only to find undo isn’t doing its thing, you can access the version history to restore what you lost.

AKA no meltdown required.

I recorded a quick screen share showing you:

1. Where to find Doc version history in ClickUp.
   ​
2. A sneaky trick for accessing your Docs without navigating to where its located.

That’s my pro-tip for when your brain is functioning at 20%. 🙃

Because we can’t always count on the undo gods, but we can count on a solid backup plan.

(And maybe a little niece who shares her colds as lovingly as her cuddles.)
