Freelance Writing ClockBy Tim Handorf

Time management is a skill that every freelance writer should master. It’s essential to know how to prioritize tasks, stay focused, and allocate time properly. These things will help you complete your assignments on time and keep income rolling in, both essential elements to ensure your freelancing career stays afloat.

To help freelance writers manage their time better, I’ve outlined a few useful tips and tricks of the trade. First, make and maintain a schedule. When you first start out freelancing most people think they’ll have so much time to relax, do work at their leisure, complete household chores, etc. But that isn’t always the case.


The easiest way for your freelancing to get off track is to get swamped with all of the non-work related elements of life. For example, waking up late, cleaning the house, making a quick stop at the grocery store, and stopping for coffee with a friend. Before you know it, the entire day is spent and you haven’t completed any assignments. To avoid this pitfall, create a routine for yourself and stick to it. Wake up every day at the same time and make a work to-do list for the day. [click to continue…]

Writers, Create A Water Cooler Effect In Your Home Office

September 2, 2010

There are probably two major problems when writers transition from working for others to true freelancing. I define freelancing as working for yourself in an environment you choose. Often that environment is a home office or other spot where there aren’t any other people working around you. The most obvious challenge is what I call discipline. It’s the ability [...]
