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.
