"Both you potopat — and you polopat" and "The wolf of a leg is fed" - these sayings as well as possible characterize activity of the freelancer. The continuous movement for the person who left office to work is at home as it is banal, and there is life. That is, it is enough to stop for a while — not to look for new customers and not to perform for them work — to be left absolutely without money. Time for the freelancer — the most important factor of achievement of financial wellbeing. Such person has no one and only employer who anyway will pay to him time spent at office even if work will be made only half. Often at the freelancer the friendship with Chronos is started not at once. By experience I can tell that at first freedom from need to go at 7 in the morning to office inspires and therefore work as "the free lance bearer" develops not at once. I want to share in this material own experience of adjustment of an operating schedule at home.
- It is necessary to be defined how many money you want to earn in a month. It is clear, that the more — the better. But nevertheless, determine for yourself the exact sum.
- How many hours a day you are ready to give to work? This moment can be calculated by practical consideration: for example, you feel what to you is perfectly worked in the mornings, 9 up to 16 h. And in the fifth hour the head does not cook at all.
- Knowing how many money you want to earn in a month, divide this sum into the number of the working days. The figure which you need to earn in day will turn out. Consider how many works should be taken per day that the necessary sum turned out and that it was possible to complete affairs in time determined by you. Of course, it is important that figures were real. If you feel that you will not cope with the volume of work which would cover necessary to you in day the sum, then or increase the prices for the services, or reduce a level of monthly earnings.
- If you have an order which needs to be executed in a certain time: in a week, month, etc., paint the plan of work for all interval of time in advance. And then for every day. Planning great helps not to put off affairs.
- Lunch, small breaks in work — it is unconditional, himself does not need to refuse it. The main thing not to go deep into any other business during a small break (viewing the movie, for example). Though... if there is a strong wish, then, of course, it is possible. But the planned work should be performed in the evening.
- It is better to differentiate time for work, household chores and rest accurately. The whole hours allocated for work need to be observed strictly, without doing for itself discounts that you are at home. And it is better not to interchange the position these hours: all interesting actions should be planned for time after work that there was no temptation to be distracted from work.
As for rest
- days off - at least 1 in a week. If there is an opportunity, then 2;
- the gym is obligatory. Work at the computer badly affects both a figure, and a backbone;
- walks in the fresh air too are obligatory;
- real-life communication. Work at the computer often assumes only business correspondence with the customer - the person whom you do not know. It will never replace communication with friends and relatives.
There is an opinion that the freelancer can combine work and rest: to take the laptop and to jerk for all summer, for example, to the sea. To bathe, sunbathe, work — all together. By experience... I cannot tell that such pastime bears to rest a strong resemblance. To business time, but also to rest too time. It is better not to mix.
In freelance, of course, everything is very individual. It is the simplest to build an operating schedule will be that who has no children, aged or sick relatives for whom regular leaving is required at present (and many people choose homework to be near blisky). But freelance of subjects is also good that you regulate the operating schedule.
