Since I am relatively new (1 year) to freelancing, I find I get distracted by spending too much time on reading all the ideas at the great sites. As long as I keep it to the afternoons when my creative juices slow down, it works out. I am definitely going to check out some of the goal-recording tools.

Thanks again for a great post.

I live and die around my Outlook calendar.

I don’t work weekends no matter how hard they try making me. It’s my career, my choice.

I post my monthly assessment on my blog at the end of every month. It’s my way of being accountable to someone else. It’s an open measurement of what’s working and what’s not. And it’s a way to get others to examine their own progress.

I have a system. Ongoing Project #1 in the morning – one to two hours. Lunch and some exercise. Other projects in the afternoon. And Ongoing Project #2 gets completed anytime between Wednesday and Friday (I have Outlook calendar set to post it as a recurring event).

My goals are rather simple. I set a monthly earnings goal that applies to all months. This year it’s been tough to reach it, but that doesn’t mean I amend it. It means I work harder.

I could use more attention to the taxes/earnings area, so that’s something I’ll take away from your post and try incorporating into what I’m doing now. Thank you.
