Can thinking like a freelancer make your day job feel more meaningful?

The freelancer mindset can teach all workers—full time, self-employed, or otherwise—how to create meaning in and at work.

When it comes to work, compensation, benefits, and job security are essential factors to consider. However, a sense of meaning and purpose may be even more crucial, particularly as we spend one-third of our life at work. Feeling like our work has meaning and is aligned with our personal values leads to a sense of purpose and increased engagement.
