Dedicate Days to Projects
Here is something I have been doing for the last 3 weeks: dedicating days to different projects.
| Day | Project |
|---|---|
| Monday | $dayjob |
| Tuesday | $dayjob |
| Wednesday | $dayjob |
| Thursday | $nightjob+others |
| Friday | $nightjob+others |
| Saturday | ? |
| Sunday | ? |
Knowing exactly what I have to do for the first three days of the week help with my mood tremendously.
On Thursday, I have a call with my boss/customer, where we review what went well and what went wrong.
This helps building a sense of progress; in my opinion, this is the closest I have been to a “winning formula” at freelancing.
On other days, though, it’s a bit messier…
I’m still working out how to dedicate these days.
Also, I’m working on improving my happiness, and I believe that having 1 fun-day might help (e.g. going out to visit museums and eat sandwich)
Anyway! My next step, now that I have a consistent work output, will be to reduce my expenses.
