大家好。我叫梁旭，以前是农民，现在是自由职业者。
[En]
Hello, everyone. I’m Liangxu, a former farmer, and now a freelancer.
我的朋友们都知道，就在上周，我刚刚结束了一个为期35天的“假期”。
[En]
As my friends know, just last week, I just finished a 35-day “vacation”.
这句话一出，立刻在评论区掀起了评论狂潮，大家都问我，你不是自由职业者吗？你在哪里度假的？
[En]
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately set off a frenzy of comments in the comment area, and everyone asked me, aren’t you freelance? Where did you get the vacation?
别急，请听我慢慢道来。
这 35 天里，我的行程是这样的：广州出发 → 衡阳 → 郴州 → 长沙 → 福州 → 仙游 → 厦门 → 返回广州。
它看起来不是很酷很自由吗？而且它也非常符合每个人心目中的自由职业者是什么样子？
[En]
Doesn’t it look cool and free? And it is also very consistent with what freelance looks like in everyone’s mind?
但这一切只是表面，真正的自由职业并没有大家所想象的那么自由。
自由职业应该是一种让很多人羡慕的工作状态。你不受时间和空间的束缚。你是你自己的老板。你不必像在公司里那样对你的领导或同事生气。
[En]
Freelance should be a kind of work state that many people envy. You are not bound by time and space. You are your own boss. You do not have to be angry with your leaders or colleagues like you do in the company.
人们向往这种工作状态，但说穿了，就是对现在的工作不满意，却要去公司上班的心理状态。我非常理解这种心理，因为我当时也处于同样的状态。
[En]
People yearn for this state of work, but to put it bluntly, it is the psychological state that they are dissatisfied with their current work, but have to go to work in the company. I can understand this psychology very well, because I was in the same state at that time.
我向往自由职业，更多是因为我一直有一颗创业的心。直到去年4月，我的副业收入比主营业务高出几倍，我终于离开了职场，走上了创业之路。
[En]
I yearn for freelance, more because I have always had an entrepreneurial heart. Until last April, when my sideline income was several times higher than my main business, I finally left the workplace and embarked on the road of starting a business.
做完自由职业者，生活确实如我所料，安排好自己的时间，安排好自己的工作，安然，也可以安排好自己的职场。
[En]
After freelance work, life is indeed as I expected, arrange your own time, arrange your own work, Enron, and you can also arrange your own workplace.
所以，自从我做了一年半的自由职业者以来，我在家里、在星巴克、在朋友的公司、在图书馆、在酒店、在家乡等等工作过。同时，我还处理地铁、公交车、高铁、飞机、船舶、磁悬浮列车等许多与工作有关的事项。
[En]
So, since I freelance for a year and a half, I have worked at home, at Starbucks, at a friend’s company, in the library, in a hotel, in my hometown, and so on. At the same time, I also deal with many work-related matters on subways, buses, high-speed trains, airplanes, ships, maglev trains, and so on.
看似在任何地方都可以工作，但是我总结下来的经验就是——这样的工作状态效率太低了！！
所以，虽然我这 35 天在外面没少花时间在工作上，但工作效率远不及在自己租的办公室里高。因此，这 35 天我宁愿称其为是「假期」，而不是大家所理解的既可以旅游，也不影响工作。
其实，我回来已经一周了，但为什么这篇文章现在才发表呢？
[En]
As a matter of fact, I have been back for a week, but why is this article just published now?
原因很简单。当我外出一个月时，我留下了太多的工作。自从我回来后，我一直在疯狂地赶我的工作。
[En]
The reason is very simple. When I went out for a month, I left too much work behind. I have been frantically catching up on my work since I came back.
很多人喜欢跑星巴克里去办公，觉得在星巴克里工作效率高。为了体验这种工作状态，我也约了几次自媒体大 V 挖数一起去星巴克办公。
然而，几次之后，我说我已经很快完成了工作，但我始终无法平静下来。我同时没有做太多的工作。我的注意力其实相当集中，但在这样的公共场所，来来往往的人总是让我过于警觉，无法专注于手头的任务。
[En]
However, after several times, I said that I had finished my work quickly, but I couldn’t calm down all the time. I didn’t do much work at the same time. My concentration is actually quite good, but in such a public place, people coming and going always make me too alert to focus on the task at hand.
此外，基本上需要一定的时间来适应不同工作场所的新地方。在狩猎之前适应陌生环境可能是人类的本能。
[En]
Also, it basically takes a certain amount of time to get used to the new place in a different workplace. It may be human instinct to adapt to an unfamiliar environment before hunting.
不过，很多人适应能力很强，非常适合公共场所。他们可以快速适应任何地方，并迅速进入工作状态。例如，挖掘就是其中之一。他最初几年的大部分时间都是在星巴克做自由撰稿人。
[En]
However, many people are very adaptable and very suitable for public places. They can quickly adapt to anywhere and quickly enter the working state. For example, digging is one of them. He spent most of his first few years in freelance at Starbucks.
如果你觉得自己的专注力、适应能力都还算 OK ，那么还有个东西会决定你的工作效率，那就是—— 工作状态。
在你熟悉的工作环境中，你可以很快投入工作。如果保持这种状态，工作效率自然会很高。但如果你边旅行边工作，环境在不断切换，你的状态也在频繁地在“旅行”和“工作”之间切换，这肯定会影响你的生产力。
[En]
In a work environment that you are familiar with, you can quickly get into work. If this state is maintained, the work efficiency will naturally be high. But if you work while traveling, the environment is constantly switching, and your status is also frequently switching between “travel” and “work”, it will certainly affect your productivity.
尤其是像我这样的程序员或自媒体从业者，你需要大量的时间思考、编程、写作，有时你可能只是回到酒店，坐上很长一段时间才能回去工作。
[En]
Especially if you are a programmer or a self-media practitioner like me, you need a lot of time to think, program, and write, and sometimes you may just travel back to the hotel and sit for a long time to get back to work.
如果你的日程表仍然很紧，那么在你的工作状态转换之前，你可能会转移到下一个行程。你怎么能在这种状态下工作呢？
[En]
If your schedule is still tight, then you may be about to move on to the next itinerary before your working state has been switched over. How can you work in this state?
这就是我在长沙旅行时做的事情。我早上刚去了橘子岛，想从酒店回来再写几句话，但我的大脑仍然处于旅行的兴奋状态。我真的无法切换回原来的思维模式。我坐了很长时间才写下标题。
[En]
That’s what I did when I was traveling in Changsha. I just went to Orange Island in the morning and wanted to write some words when I came back from the hotel, but my brain was still in the excited state of travel. I really couldn’t switch back to the mode of thinking. I sat for a long time before I wrote down a title.
此外，频繁更换工作场所会让你的时间变得支离破碎。在广州这样的大城市，每次你出去，你都要在一个小时后出发。如果你需要转移到另一个战场，你不会再失去它一个小时。时间被切开了，如何高效地思考？
[En]
Also, switching workplaces frequently can make your time fragmented. In a big city like Guangzhou, every time you go out, you start in an hour. If you need to move to another battlefield, you won’t lose it for another hour. Time has been cut apart, how to think efficiently?
所以，总的来说，在固定的地方工作，全天候工作(而不是工作两天，旅行三天)是最有效率的。
[En]
So, on the whole, working in a fixed place and keeping working all the time (instead of working for two days and traveling for three days) is the most efficient.
这也是为什么公司里老板不喜欢自己的员工频繁请假的原因吧。
如此一来，从职场的角度来看，自由职业者并不像人们想象的那样自由。还是要让自己像在公司一样，始终保持高效的工作状态，产出最高。
[En]
In this way, from a workplace perspective, freelance is not as free as people think. Still want to let oneself be like in the company, always maintain the efficient work condition, the output is the highest.
这就是为什么我现在在外面租了一间办公室。我以前一直在家工作，但有太多分心的事情。不时，孩子拉着我，让我陪她玩耍；长辈们有时会走进来，坐下来和你聊天。
[En]
That’s why I’m renting an office outside now. I have been working from home before, but there are too many distractions. From time to time, the child came to pull me and asked me to play with her; the elders would sometimes come in and sit and chat with you.
虽然有时只有一小段时间，但一旦工作状态被破坏，有时可能要一两个小时才能恢复。
[En]
Although sometimes only for a little while, but once the working state is destroyed, sometimes it may not recover for an hour or two.
所以，如果你想成为自由职业者，不要被“自由”这个词愚弄了。如果你想提高工作效率，我建议你在外面租一间办公室，像去公司一样每天上下班。同时，外出请假不要频繁，一定要时刻保持工作状态，这样你的效率和产出才是最高的。
[En]
So, if you want to freelance, don’t be fooled by the word “freedom”. If you want to improve your work efficiency, I suggest you rent an office outside and commute to and from work every day like going to the company. at the same time, do not ask for frequent “leave” to go out, be sure to keep the “working state” all the time, so that your efficiency and output is the highest.
