Keeping track of time is vital for freelancers. It can help you focus, discourage you from procrastinating and be a great motivator on those days when you’re struggling.

Every freelancer works differently but one thing we can surely all agree on is that it’s difficult to manage your time and work effectively without a solid plan in place.

Despite a bad quarter for the freelancing sector and increasing uncertainty about work prospects and the economy post-Brexit, freelancers are feeling positive about the future.

It’ll hopefully come as no surprise that the freelance life isn’t an easy ride. Being a freelancer is a constant battle to try and keep your income as consistent and stable as possible. 

We all have a pretty set idea of the kind of careers freelancers tend to have, don’t we? In the realm of common experience are freelance writers, architects, web designers, cake makers, photographers, actors…

With freelancers being called upon to do the work that in house teams used to do, it makes sense that they would need to collaborate with other freelancers on certain projects where different skills are required.

Being dropped by a client is never fun but it’s something all freelancers find they have to get used to. Flexible workers often don’t make it through the first round of budget cuts when money is tight for a client.

Things looking quiet in your inbox? Are you starting to worry about money? You’re not alone.

As we all know too well, freelance life isn’t always a bed of roses.

People all over the world are trying their hand at freelancing.
