Great Post.

I think another point that you touched on indirectly was that you need to have solid systems for doing your Freelance work. You mention having a list, which I always do, but also streamlining tasks like invoicing and follow ups can really free up a lot of time as well.

I pretty much agree with everything you said. But ESPECIALLY waking up early. I feel like I can be so much more productive when I wake up. I also am taking classes in community college right now so I have to split my time between computer time and school time (home work included).

I feel like the more time I give myself…the lazier I get. Almost because it feels like I can just do it “tomorrow.” I notice that I never really do any school papers until I fixate it in my mind that this must get done now. Being prepared mentally seems like to best way to combat all of these issues.

I don’t think it’s bad that you design a timeline for you to spend with your family. You have to provide for them, so it’s for the betterment that you do choose your times to spend with your family so you’re productive when you’re not. I really need to work on scheduling things myself, especially since I’ve upgraded my OS and I’m trying to stamp out these system bugs at the moment.
