Now I don’t feel so lazy all the time thanks to Wired Magazine’s 3 Smart Things About Sleeping Late. Obviously this isn’t a realistic option for most people on a 9-5 schedule, however the freelancers out there can certainly benefit from this advice. (Flickr photo)

Here are a few of my favorites:

  • You can work when you’re most productive
  • Control over your hourly rate
  • Diversity
  • No office politics
  • You’ll develop an impressive portfolio
  • You’ll be challenged
  • Work is wherever you want it to be
  • You have an excuse to buy an iPhone

The bit on learning more about your finances and taxes I’m not so sure about.
