👋 Who this guide is for

This guide is for freelancers with flexible schedules who want structure without burning themselves out.

If your days blur together, work spills into evenings, or “flexibility” starts to feel like constant availability, this is for you.

How freelancers use Lifestack

Freelancers don’t usually struggle with motivation. They struggle with boundaries — between work and rest, focus and fatigue, flexibility and overwork.

Lifestack helps freelancers design days that are flexible but still intentional. By combining your calendar, work blocks, and (optionally) health data, Lifestack makes it easier to:

• Plan work around energy instead of forcing long days
• Use AI to avoid overloading yourself
• Protect personal time without feeling guilty

Getting started for freelancers

Lifestack works best when it reflects both your work and your life.

Start by syncing your calendar. This includes client calls, deadlines, personal commitments, and time off. Seeing everything together helps prevent overbooking without realizing it.

Sync Calendar

• We recommend syncing your personal and work calendars, so you can keep everything in one place.

Next, add work blocks for the kinds of work you do regularly — client work, admin, learning, creative time. These blocks help Lifestack understand not just what you’re doing, but how demanding it is. Here’s a guide to making the most of your to do list:

Todo Lists

If you choose, you can also connect health data. Sleep and recovery patterns can help Lifestack spot fatigue early, before long days turn into burnout. If you want to learn how to connect your health wearable, check out the guide below:
