Posted October 17, 2007 in Productivity
Replying to business queries is an inveterate part of your freelance life. In most cases you don’t have a secretary to handle your business related correspondences.
Whether it’s pitching for a new project or replying to prospective clients who are interested in hiring you, you constantly need to send emails. This becomes a repetitive and time-consuming exercise if you work on smaller projects, and almost every day you handle new projects.

I first would like to ask you something: What do you do on week-ends? Do you usually take the week-end off, or you try to get some more stuff done? I’m just wondering, as I usually work a little on week-ends.

So with that said, here are 8 posts I thought you might find interesting (I know I really enjoyed reading them) ;)
