Same here in Switzerland. The instructions in the email say to confirm the price change under my.1password.com/billing but I don't see any confirmation options on that page. So i'm assuming my account will just be canceled ^^
I maintain an analytics tool for a large newspaper. I wrote the code for it in PHP 13 years ago. The app has been running without interruption for 13 years and is used by hundreds of employees every day. Still, it needs a bit of maintenance (APIs change). The code is scary and I will probably maintain the project for the rest of my life because anyone else would pull their hair out. I'm not proud of it and write better code in the meantime, but rewriting all the code from 13 years ago would be way too expensive for the company.
I work as a freelancer, but I wanted also to work on some side projects. After 4 years I make more money with my side projects than with my freelancer jobs. Normally I work 30% as a freelancer and spend 70% of my time working on my projects. As a freelancer, you have still people (=clients) who tell you what to do, but with your side project, you are your own boss. you can work really fast and try new stuff out, it's much more fun.
I'm running to B2B SaaS with subscriptions. The more customers I have, the more time I spend on support tickets or billing stuff. I'm really bad at self-discipline, but after 6 years working from home I finally find a routine that works for me. I start working very early (around 4-5 a.m.) and try to keep my afternoon for my own projects or time outside. I also try not to use social media before 1 pm.
I've stopped judging myself when I sometimes have days where I do absolutely nothing. It's fine. I like to relax my mind and wander off a bit. There are other days coming where I'm working till late and are much more productive.
Its like you wanna quit smoking but the Tabacco Company puts a new pack of cigarettes on your table. Its right next to you all the time, you don't have to open it, but if you want, you can.
A probationary period is not only beneficial for the employer, but also for you (which many forget): If you don't like the job after a few weeks, you can quit short-term (as for example in Germany within 2 weeks or even less) and just leave and start in another company.
I wake up around 04:30/05:00 (without alarm), make a coffee and work till 8 or 9. So i already worked a lot without getting notifications or emails from co-workers, they are still sleeping.
Around 9 i have a shower and make a little break. Around 10 i work again till 1pm and the rest of the day i'm still online for my co-workers, but not really working anymore. After 1pm i mostly work on my own projects or do groceries and so on.
What really helpmed me are Qbserve (https://qotoqot.com/qbserve/) to track my productivity and Flow (https://flowapp.info), a Pomodoro timer. I can block social media and other stuff with Flow to don't get distracted in the morning. I don't open social media (also HN) before 1pm.
