In the past 6 years, my freelancing work day (on the weekends, when I was working fulltime) has always gone something like this:

  • Wake up at noon
  • Goof off for an hour or so
  • Play eenie meenie miney mo to pick a client project to start working on for the day
  • Goof off for another hour
  • Actually get started on the job picked earlier
  • Get tired of staring at the that project
  • Decide to start working on another client project
  • Goof off for another hour or so
  • Finally get started on the project
  • Get sick of looking at it
  • Go back to the first project
  • Lather, rinse, repeat for a few hours
  • Go to bed at 6am

That’s hardly productive. Looking at that list, I’m amazed I can even tie my own shoe laces! So starting today, I’m trying a different method.
