But what if in some cases such as the client needs you for emergency situations? There was once when my client accidentally deleted files and the back-up/restoration system was not yet implemented, he rushed to me to restore it since it's very urgent and not attending to it would be a great loss of his potential sales. Any suggestions regarding such case? I also do have a day job and while freelancing and I do forget some of the stuffs like being attentive to diet and some exercise.

It's quite amazing how poor we are at estimating task durations. @ Evelyn - I'm glad you found them useful for your situation, even though it's different than that of a full-timer/freelancer. @ Nathski and Zakman - Exactly! Otherwise, there's no more "free" in freelancing, is there? You're just a new kind of wage slave. :( Also, being picky builds a better portfolio/client list! :) @ Susan - So true! We have "peak times" when we should be doing our main work, and then other activities at other times when we're not our best. @ Ed – there’s an old programmer’s joke that says when you’re done with the first 90%, it’s time to start the next 90%!
