I’ve been spending some time trying to figure out what to do with my MA in English–besides teach. Don’t get me wrong; I love teaching! But I really want extra options. This post is excellent, and I’m definitely going to keep it in my mind for future reference.

Another great task management tool for freelancers is Intervals. It also includes time tracking so you can see where your time is going and bill your clients accurately.

Truer words were never written. Just keep in mind one caveat with all these “rules”: Flexibility. You can negotiate payment schedules, commit to conquer clutter, set aside time for new biz dev. But my home office desk is never more awry than when a Killer Deadline approaches. Down the Totem Pole of Priorities all else slips – networking, collections, cleanliness, etc – when I have that proverbial Bird in Hand that someone else (namely, my client) is expecting in his/her nest.

So be flexible.

And enjoy the ride…

Really cool article. I thought it was all pretty interesting and valuable. I like the “wage a ruthless war on clutter” paragraph.

Also, the section on finding ways to reuse work. I think this is critical for freelancers to ever get out of the trade time for money loop.
