The Most Flexible Offline Jobs

Lifestyle design often seems to go hand-in-hand with working online. The general consensus is that working online is the best way to gain more freedom in the way you work and will allow you to travel more, to spend more time with friends and family and to reduce stress levels.

This is true but its not for everyone. The problem with working online is that means youre going to be on the computer for the majority of your day (of course) and that you wont get much interaction with colleagues or customers. For some people this can be enough to cause a bit of cabin fever, making it a less than ideal option. Its also not going to be ideal for anyone who would describe themselves as a technophobe and doesnt feel confident working with computers.

But there are other options  there are plenty of jobs you can do offline that offer similar levels of flexibility and freedom, or that have other perks that make them very tempting. Read on and well take a look at some of those jobs and what makes them so great for lifestyle design.

Driving Instructor

As a driving instructor, you will have the freedom to book appointments and lessons whenever you want to and this will allow you to arrange your work around other commitments. Some driving instructors are essentially self-employed, giving them complete freedom to work as much or as little as they choose.

Rubbish Collector

Okay, so this might not be particularly flexible or particularly glamorous. But just to show how good things can sometimes come in surprising packages: being a garbage collector means youll only be working early in the morning and will then have the rest of the day free to do what you want. Youll never be asked to stay late at work and youll never bring the stress of work home with you Better than it at first sounds then!

Hairdresser

Similar to a driving instructor, a hair dresser can basically choose the hours they want to work and can spend their time relaxed or doing other things in-between appointments!
This same thing can actually be said of any job that gives you the freedom to make appointments  whether youre a window cleaner, a gardener or anything else.

Park Ranger

This work isnt particularly flexible but it shows how you can actually get happiness and freedom from your job itself. As a park ranger youll get to spend more time outdoors, youll rarely be stressed and if youre the right personality type youll get a huge kick out of what you do!

Flexi-Time

Any office job with flexi-time is going to be at least somewhat more flexible than working regular hours. While the precise flexibility you gain varies, generally this will mean that you can come in a little later and leave a little later or vice versa. Just this small amount of freedom makes all kinds of things easier from booking appointments at the bank to staying out later for drinks in the evening.
