Open Thread: Describe Your Typical Day
Posted November 14, 2010 in Open Thread
As freelancers, we get to choose where and when we do our work. Of course, freelancing work patterns and habits vary greatly.
I thought it might be fun to share our typical daily routines with each other. So, today’s open thread question is:
What is your typical workday, as a freelancer, like?
Share your daily routine in the comments. I’ll start.
Although my workdays vary somewhat, I am usually in my office between 8 and 9 a.m. First, I check email, read blogs, and participate in social media (usually Twitter). After about an hour, I eat breakfast (no, for some reason I don’t feel like eating until I’ve been up for an hour or two).
After breakfast, I focus on project work. I take a lunch break at noon and sometimes run errands. After few more hours of project work, it is time to pick my child up from school. That leaves me with a few more hours to focus on project work before I end my day by checking my email and sending a few closing Tweets. My goal is to wrap up my work each day before 6 p.m., although there are days when I work longer hours.
Missing from my typical workday:
- An hour long commute in bumper-to-bumper traffic
- Daily meetings (client meetings are currently by appointment)
- Interruptions (coworker noise)
Personally, I feel as though I get more done now than when I worked in a cubicle. (Plus, I now have a window by my desk.)

November 14th, 2010 at 9:44 amLaura, great post! Even though this whole site is geared toward freelancers, this type of post is a lot more personal, so it’s interesting to get an inside look to what everyone does. Here is my typical day:
I’m usually in my office around 8am, start deleting all of the junk emails, then I check all of the blogs that I subscribe to and do about an hour of social media marketing work. At about 9 I go back to my email and start working through that. I’ll file things that don’t need me to do anything or start getting back to clients, then I start working on projects after that. I usually try to take a break about noon to get something to eat or run some quick errands. I’m usually back at my desk by 1:30 or so and continue to work on projects. I try to stop working on client projects between 5-6PM and take a break for dinner. If I have a lot of work to do or want to work on my personal projects I will come back into the office and work on those.
Throughout the day I’m answering important emails and taking some phone calls (Caller ID and an answering machine is a must!), checking some additional blogs and doing some tweeting to break up the day. When I have a meeting scheduled I usually like to do it either first thing in the morning or around lunch time. I hate breaking my day up into little bits, I end up getting no work done. So by getting it out of the way first or where I would take a break already seems to help a lot.

November 14th, 2010 at 9:56 amIt will be interesting to see the answers to this.
I start my workday @ 8am everyday. I spend an hour and a half checking email and reading blogs (like Freelance Folder, etc.), and catching up on news. I then spend the rest of the morning (up to 1pm) working on business admin and development (accounting, errands, marketing, blog posts, e-books, etc.). Then it’s lunch for 30 min, and down to billable project work until 4:30pm. I take another 30 min break, and work on blog posts and e-books for another 2 hours. I work 6 days a week, and I’m very strict with my schedule.

November 14th, 2010 at 10:59 amHi! Great thread.
I’m a freelancer from Singapore. The day usually starts at around 9 or 10 when I start checking my mails, my blog, my blogshop on Facebook, and social media such as twitter. I read blogs on my RSS feed (such as this one) and then I head off for a break period between 11am to 2pm where I freshen up for the day and have my meals, and of course slot in some TV time for news and to relax the mind a little.
I restart my work by first making a list of things to do. Work usually involves designing for projects, managing websites, or updating my blog/blogshop. Throughout the day I continue checking mails, and my twitter feed (very important!). I take a break between 6 to 9 again to run errands and continue if there is still work left for the day. I have picked up a habit of finishing things earlier in the day since I’ve started night classes – which I have to attend at least three times a week from 7pm to 10pm. When I have a major project, I am very strict with spending 3 to 6 hours straight to get as much done as possible, but otherwise my aim of the day is to get as much marketing done online as possible.
Cheers!

November 14th, 2010 at 11:33 amHow to start my day
I usually wake up at 6 because I sleep a bit early and dont like to sleep after midnight. I work at home, so I dont have to get ready for work or stuck in morning traffic. After waking up I checked my email from my phone, this determine what will I do trough out the day.
If there are important emails I immidiately reply all from my phone. And if there’s quick work or revision that I can do for 2 hours maximum, I will rush to my work room and finish the job. After that I get ready for the day and eat breakfast at 8am. If I have tons of revisions/ urgent unfinished project, I will try to finish them all for the rest of the day.
If there’s no important emails I usually grab some hot drinks then go to my work room to finished last night work. The works usually consist of revisions or editing layouts that is halfway done. Sometimes last night design that considered finished needs more editing before sending the proof to the client. I always try to email the proof before breakfast.
I try to eat breakfast at 8 but sometimes it can at 10 or 11am in the morning.
I like it when I’m done emailing and sending proof after breakfast is done, so after breakfast I can do some morning errands or browse for briefs in CS or 99
If I need to finished yesterdays briefs I will browse about things that I should know about the project, reference and such, then organized all the necessary items into folders. I wanted to get all the things I need for the project before lunch time.
I usually eat late lunch at 1 or 2pm or eat brunch at 11am then eat early dinner at 5pm. It all depends on the workload.
After lunch I get started on my new design by making skteches, I always try to finish the sketches before my early dinner. After dinner I play abit then go back to my work room at 8-9pm. I start making designs until 11.30pm or sunrise.
Sometimes I went to the gym or studying french just to break away from my routine. Sometimes I went to the mall too. All and all my typical work days are kind of boring.

November 14th, 2010 at 12:03 pmWhen I start my weekday (usually around 9 – 10 am)
I check the usual email – 5 min
Play with google reader – 30 min
facebook ketchup – 20 min
research – 30 min
evaluate portfolio standing 1 hr
Once everything is reconciled, I have lunch. Then I’ll go play for a couple of hours or homework(senior year, AAS Marketing)
At that point I’ll head to my 5 to 9 j.o.b.
Finally after work, I’ll be with friends or more homework.
Dinner is usually an hour before bed(if timed correctly).
*Weekends my mornings are more condensed* Homework and research occupies most of the time

November 14th, 2010 at 12:40 pmWell, I’m only a part-time freelancer by the moment, so my day starts at noon. I wake up, check my mails, RSS and social media feeds….Then I stop for lunch. After that, some design work. Until 4:30Pm cause I’ve to be in my full time job before 5.
After that, somedays I go to some friend house or comeback to mine and probably work in design till 4am…..

November 14th, 2010 at 1:40 pmFirst and foremost, I’m a single mom and b/c of that I try to be as accessible to my kids as I can. Whether they’re at school or home largely shapes what my work day looks like, but here’s basically how it goes:
8:30-9: Sort emails, get rid of the junk, determine what needs my attention right away. Check up on blogs, the news, Facebook, & Twitter.
9-11:30: Work on the largest project I have at that moment or the one that is closest to completion.
11:30-12: Lunch/errands
12-1:50: More projects, social media stuff, return phone calls, etc
That’s basically the end of my work day. My kids get out at 2 and I hang out with them, help them with homework, cook dinner, etc until bed time. If I’ve got more that needs done and can’t wait I’ll work after they’re in bed.

November 14th, 2010 at 2:29 pmI wake up at 9. Until 10 I drink my milk and read emails and blogs. Then I start the work on the layouts / coding etc. Clients work. At 12 I walk my dogs then get back home. At 14 I eat lunch and work more. In the evening I go to my karate classes and end my day watching movies or my favourite series. I go to bed at midnight.

November 14th, 2010 at 2:48 pmGreat idea for a post btw Laura. :) I’m a full-time freelancer and currently working on turning the freelance thing into a proper business thing, so I don’t have a 9-5 to go to. This is it. *shrugs*
Usually I’m up at 4AM to feed the Cat, brew the coffee, and sit down at the computer to go over emails, PMs, social media messages etc. I market hard on a 1 business day turn around on communications so I have to know what I’m doing communication-wise when 9AM rolls around.
Shower and breakfast happen around 6AM.
Then I work until 9AM rolls around. Distraction free time is so rare during the day, so this is my concentration time.
9AM I start replying to emails, Twitter PMs, Facebook etc. Around 9:30AM I start returning calls and booking appointments for the rest of the week. Somewhere in there I work in daily calls to my Mum (who keeps my books and plays wingman at events for me) for about half an hour. I try to book appointments with clients, the bank, business mentors, etc etc before noon so 10AM-12PM is usually broken up between days in and days when I’m out at meetings until the day is half over.
On days without meetings 10AM is when I sit down with Google Reader and do my morning blast of pertinent article shares on Twitter. Then work. From noon to 6PM I work pretty much straight through, unless I have a stray late meeting. Sometimes movies or streaming TV goes up on the dual screen but I work through. Eat at my desk etc etc.
6PM I stop taking calls from anyone but family. I might keep working on something if I’m really in the groove, but usually I switch over to my own stuff then. Play a couple games of Catan to decompress. Make dinner around 7. Watch the night’s TV. Check Google Reader one more time and do a second slug of relevant Twitter shares. This is also when I pound out newsletters and articles.
In bed by 10PM so I can get up with the cries for breakfast at 4AM and it starts all over again *smiles* Not very glamourous but it’s the only way I can bear to make a buck.

November 14th, 2010 at 4:32 pmgreat idea for a post – loved reading everyone’s answers so far!
7am: alarm goes off, skim through emails & facebook on my blackberry and decide what needs to be dealt with asap and what can wait – lounge in bed for 45 minutes (I’m a night owl)
8am: in my office, dressed with breakfast in front of me. skim twitter, deal with urgent emails. I’m on the west coast of Canada but have clients on the east coast so I do anything that involves them before 9 when they all go for lunch.
9-10:30am: client work or meetings
10:30-10:45am: take the dog out for a quick run around to refresh my brain
10:45-noon: client work or meetings. I like to get my client work done as early in the day as possible and I try to have all meetings that require me to travel done by 1pm so I don’t have to deal with afternoon traffic
noon – 2:00: lunch (at my desk, replying to emails), errands and an hour long walk with the dog at the beach.
2:00-3:30: more client work if necessary, else catching up on social media, marketing, business admin
3:30 – 5:00: read blogs, catch up via IM with a couple of fellow freelancers
I stop taking client and responding to email at 5. Have dinner, chill out for a bit, run around outside with the dog. After 7, if I’m home for the evening, I might go back to work on personal stuff or write blog articles or client emails (that don’t get sent till the next morning) while I watch a bit of tv but I’m often working on things till midnight.
If I’m in full on design mockup mode, that all goes out the window and I bury myself for the whole day, especially if I’m in the zone. I’ll come out for a break with the dog at lunch and some dinner later on.

November 14th, 2010 at 6:10 pmDay? my dear, only nights for me…
zedkin
November 14th, 2010 at 7:33 pm@vicki …. I agree with you….the only reason because I wake up early is because of my clients…. but even my portfolio name makes reference to the night: “Nocturno Diseño” that can be translated as “Nocturnal Design”

November 14th, 2010 at 8:23 pmMy usual work day includes waking up at around 7:30..ish. Taking a 20 minuet walk, then on public transit for 15 minuets to get to the place where I am currently doing some contract work. Grab a coffee at the closest Star Bucks, in the office at 9. Work on project work till about noon, when I grab lunch. From 1 till about 5 I work on more project work. There is usually a 10-15 minuet break in there, then back home. Rinse and repeat.

November 14th, 2010 at 10:19 pmMy day starts when I wake up (typically between 6-9). Since I work with clients many hours ahead of me, when I’m getting up, they’re asleep. So I don’t even set the alarm; after many years of an alarm, I love being able to wake up on my own.
I begin the day working on something of my own: writing or editing, a blog entry, or something else. Then I check e-mail, blogs, and all social networks.
After that, I look at my to do list. I make a list before I go to bed each night for 1-2 personal projects and the things I need to do for clients. I work on client stuff until 11 or 12, when I break for lunch. After lunch, back to work.
My wife stays home, so I work until 2 or 3. We go to the gym and workout when there are no crowds. If we have any errands, we run them before afternoon and evening traffic hits. I work until dinner, and that’s usually it. Sometimes, if I spend a bit more time running around, or if I have a bigger pile of work to get through, I work into the evening. I don’t mind, though, because I find breaking up the day like I do allows me to focus better and get things done. At my old job, I worked many evenings because my day was spent doing busy work for managers–not always working for clients.
Before bed, I check e-mail. My clients are awake and beginning their day, so they send the next round of work for me. I make my to do list, hang out with my wife, and go to bed to do it all over again the next day.
I really enjoy working from home. I don’t feel isolated since my wife is home, too. Taking a five minute break and chatting with her beats office drama from coworkers that goes on and on and one any day! :)

November 15th, 2010 at 12:45 am7am (or earlier) – 8:30: Wake up, dress, help my son get breakfast and ready for school.
8:30: Some days, I take a walk or jog with my husband. Others I just settle in at the computer and review email, check my schedule for the day, read forums and social networking until 9 or 9:30.
9:30 – 3pm: Time to work: First, send emails that I have been saving in drafts folder (from work that was done outside of regular office hours.) Second, client projects, prioritized by deadlines. Third, work on my business: bookkeeping, marketing. I take quick breaks and surf the web between projects. I work at home so I take breaks for breakfast and lunch when I get hungry. Sometimes I leave the house to meet friends or for networking events or to work at a coffee shop. If I’m not too busy, I might run errands during the day.
3pm: Pick up son at school.
3:45: Back to work until 5 or so if needed.
I also will work evenings or weekends if I want to, but I only send work to clients during regular business hours.
Michał Leonczuk
November 15th, 2010 at 6:21 amAfter I wake up, I try to do as much work as I can until I get tired and hungry. I don’t usually eat in the very morning. I am much more productive before I take a break from work.
Also I do have my facebook and blogs time in between, but I try not to get distracted. Sometimes I get lucky and it takes me just 5 minutes (when nothing is going on), but usually it doesn’t look that good :)
Great post btw.
Eric Barr
November 15th, 2010 at 8:26 amIts good to see that so many people’s schedules are similar to mine. Some days its frustrating to feel like I have been at the computer all day and only have 3 or 4 billable hours for the day. I don’t always have that few, but after checking personal email, blogs, etc. in the morning and other non-billable tasks, sometimes I may only get 2 billable hours in before lunch. Then with any errands and/or exercise in the afternoon, I may only get 2-3 billable hours in the afternoon too. Of course, this is okay occasionally since my hourly rate is higher than it would be in an office, and because other days I get more billable hours in. But that’s one of the reasons that a lot of us are freelancers, so that we can work a little less and have a more flexible schedule. Still can be frustrating though when you intend to get more hours in.
Also, when you think about it, I’m not sure many people in an office get a whole lot more than 5 or so “billable” hours in for an 8 hour work day. People with full-time office jobs check personal email, talk to co-workers socially, talk to spouses, and do some errands during the work day too, but they technically get paid for it.
Melissa
November 15th, 2010 at 9:49 am• before i go to bed the night before, i delete as much spam email as possible and figure out what I’ll be working on the next morning.
• wake up at 7:15, get dressed, walk the dog
• make breakfast and eat it at my desk, usually by 8
• check email, blogs, facebook, twitter til 8:45-9
• work on whatever requests I have in email, or pending projects
• randomly check FB when I get a mental block or need a break
• lunch, genarlly at my desk
• squeeze in a workout either before lunch or after 5:30
• work til I’m done, which hopefully is by 6
• I try hard not to work on weekend, but will usually end up doing some administrative stuff on Saturday or Sunday morning.

November 15th, 2010 at 12:51 pm@most_people
I noticed 90% people use rss feeds.
Also there are quite a few designers. While a little bit of everything else sprinkled in.
Bakari
November 15th, 2010 at 5:47 pmAfter dropping my son off at school, I’m typically back at my computer around 8:30 or 9:00. I first read, manage, or delete early morning email, then I check out RSS feeds. For about two to four hours I draft and edit articles, as well search for other topics to write about. After meeting my deadlines, I pull out a larger project and work on it. In between those tasks, of course, I’m writing and responding emails, doing web searches, checking facts and other information, and looking for leads for freelance gigs. The latter responsibility is something I need to do a lot more and not let it wait. After my son arrives home at 3:00, things slow down a bit until around 8p.m, at which time I’ll get on the computer to see I can crank out another article.
Stephanie
November 16th, 2010 at 1:18 amInteresting workday Laura :) Here’s my typical workday:
07:00 AM – Have breakfast and give my daughter a bath.
09:00 AM – Start the day by checking email, reading and participating in blogs and forums, and update my social networks. I usually use Twitter, Plurk, and Facebook occasionally.
10:00 AM – Write and schedule a blog post, work on client projects
12:00 NN – Feed my daughter her lunch, have my own, and update social media again.
01:30 PM – I usually work on client projects till 03:45 PM. I run some errands till the clock strikes 5, which is when I give my daughter her evening bath before she goes to sleep and before dinner.
It’s always good to have at least a rough schedule so that you’ll have a good idea just when you can do this or when you can set some time off for yourself.
Rachel Small
November 16th, 2010 at 10:23 amGreat post!
I try to start my day around 7:00. I’m most productive in the morning and try to take advantage of this. Like almost everyone who responded, I start by going on various social media sites and checking my email.
At 8:00 I start editing (except on yoga days, which are twice a week) and take a lunch break around noon. I often head to a coffee shop for the afternoon. My home office is not very inspiring at the moment. Then I edit until 4:00 or 5:00, have dinner, and then do some reading related to my field and check my email one last time in the evening.

November 16th, 2010 at 3:22 pmFun post. Good to see how organized and productive everyone is! (Although who would confess publicly to slackerdom?)
I don’t have a typical day, but have some routines.
6:30 to 8:00 a.m. wake up. Read three newspapers, in print
9-10:00 a.m. Listen to one hour of BBC World News on radio
10:00-1:00 or 2pm: work on current projects (right now, marketing my new book, setting up events); reach out to new clients; write my blog posts; write articles; work on book proposals; read RSS feeds and emails; send emails
1 or 2pm; lunch, at home or out
3:00-5:00 or 6pm, work. I may cut out at 4:00 or 4:30 to get to the gym before it’s too crowded.
Tues, Wed and Thursday I have a pool aerobics class from 11:15 to noon.
I also take hooky days if I am really tired, as I am doing today, heading out to an afternoon movie.
I also make it a point, because I do feel isolated working alone in the suburbs without kids or pets, to schedule at least one or two lunches every week, often business related, and one in Manhattan. I need city energy and inspiration.
I also attend some evening events or professional meetings to network face to face. I avoid, whenever possible, working on weekends or at night after my fiance gets home. I find the greatest challenge is to set and maintain boundaries, physical and mental, between work time and private time — I don’t even have a separate home office, so this is essential.

November 17th, 2010 at 5:24 amIn my case I wake up at 8 am normally. Depending if I have a meeting it can be much earlier. I then start checking emails while having breakfast. I make a list of assignments on priority basis. I then check go through news/mails etc. All this stuff can cometimes take 2-3 hours. I m really productive between 1-6 pm. Sometimes I can complete all the tasks of the day just in those 5-6 hours. Crazy huh …
In the evening I like to watch TV for sometime. Then I go out for an evening walk before dinner. I meet my friends during that time. I organize things well to avoid hectic schedule.
Heather Henderson
November 17th, 2010 at 2:57 pmGreat topic — I’ve always wondered how other people structured their freelance days and what ideas I could get from them for organizing mine.
My schedule is dictated by my jobs, of course, but on a sane day, it looks like:
6:30 Up, paper and coffee (I stick to this ritual, as it might be the only quiet
pleasure I have for many hours!)
8:00 Do one short household chore (this works better for me than trying to clean
the whole house on the weekend or something)
8:30 At my desk: check email; send my first tweet and schedule a couple of others;
check forums; respond to clients, etc.
9:30 – Noon: In the studio. If I’m recording a book, I will work the rest of the day,
taking breaks every hour or two. If I have commercial ads to voice, I’ll
finish these in the morning if possible and spend the afternoon marketing.
5:00 (if I’m lucky) Knock off for the day, make dinner, go to dance class.
5:00 (if I’ve got jobs piled up): record until the wee hours!
I exercise pretty much every day, either with a long walk at noon or with evening dance classes.

November 23rd, 2010 at 3:07 amI used to read most blogs here before in order to learn more about freelancing.. so its nice to be back. I just started my part-time online job this year and I feel like I’m a growing toddler in this adventure..
Anyway to share my typical workday, I start it by waking up not beyond 7am and do few chores. As a single mum, you can’t afford to waste time. My 3yr old kid usually wakes up around 8 to 9 so I have to make sure I’m already done and dressed up before she cries out ‘mommy’. Then after attending all her needs, we should be off to my mum’s shop before 10am cos the travel takes more than 30 minutes to reach the place. Usually my morning routine is to manage my mum’s dress shop and if its not too busy then I can check emails, do the virtual socializing and say ‘Hi’ to my boss. After lunch is when I divulge and focus my online job until around 7pm. Being home around 8 for dinner gives me quick time to read few books afterwards. 10pm is usually the giggling or book time with my daughter and 11pm is off to dreamland.
I think I’m like @BEN’s turbo time, being productive around 1 to 6pm…

7am – Wake up and watch my husband get ready for work.
7:30 – Kiss hubby goodbye and head to my desk to check email, blogs and social media.
8:00 – Fix tea and breakfast to have at my desk, then work until lunch (this can involve client work and/or general office maintenance). Or, get dressed and head to client meetings if applicable.
12pm – Break for lunch and household chores. Usually my lunch involves heating, so while that’s happening I tidy up and put in a load of laundry, prep dinner, or whatever else needs to be done. I eat lunch away from my desk and enjoy a few minutes of peace and quiet. This is also when I get dressed, be it into “real person” clothes, workout clothes or a clean pair of sweats.
12:30 – Back to work for a few hours. More client work, meetings, bookkeeping, blogging, etc. happen now.
2:30 – Break for snack. Depending on my day I will either get back to work or go run errands or work out before the 9-5 crowd is out and about.
4:30 – Husband returns home and I quit working. We either relax or workout, then shower and have dinner.
My evenings consists of relaxing and some household chores, or various social activities. Depending on my project load I will put a few hours of work in after dinner once or twice a week.
11:00 – One last email check then off to bed.

March 28th, 2012 at 8:24 amI have observed that in old digital cameras, exceptional receptors help to target automatically. These sensors involving some camcorders change in contrast, while others utilize a beam of infra-red (IR) light, specifically in low lumination. Higher standards cameras often use a mix of both systems and likely have Face Priority AF where the video camera can ‘See’ your face while focusing only on that. Thanks for sharing your notions on this blog site.

This individual would expose himself to help you what would likely be the best withering cross-examination with prosecutors about his past lies together with personal failings.

ABC News reports those medical records were part as to evidence released Tuesday why prosecutors are blessed with when it comes to all of the second-degree murder legal proceeding against Zimmerman.

Their message left Tuesday evening now with Zimmerman?¡¥s attorney appears to be possibly not immediately returned. [url=http://www.ghdaustraliastockists.info]ghd australia[/url]
