Observe the mode
Freedom can very quickly turn into a dangerous idleness. When there are no strict chiefs, it is not necessary to hurry in the office early in the morning, there is always a temptation to sleeparly sleep, sow on the couch or hang on the Internet, instead of doing business. But the fact that at the end of the month no one hurries to list you salaries for regular visits to the office, quickly disrupts.
The day of the day disciplines. Try to go to bed in time and get up early. You can, of course, deal with the rights of "owls", arguing that at night your creativity and performance increases. However, the human brain is restored from 22:00 to 2:00, after which the sleep value decreases, and with a high probability you will feel broken all day, long swinging and absorbing coffee with liter circles.
Consider personal factors
It's one thing when you are freelancer-hostak, and completely different - when you are a wife and mom of two children. Sometimes you have to adjust your work schedule under loved ones. You may have to work as crazy while the child is sleeping, or at night, when there is silence in the house. In any case, try to build a system even from home chaos. Look out personal boundaries. Often homemade does not perceive the freelancing seriously. Explain that, even if you are sitting in the kitchen in shorts and T-shirt, drunk in a laptop, it's your work, and it is important. Ask not to distract you on trifles.
Adjust to the customer
It is important to understand how quickly you must meet customers? When need to be in touch? If you work constantly on some project or company, you will most likely depend on other employees or your head. Someone is important that the remote assistant is in touch 24/7. Someone is used to carry out general meetings on Mondays at 10 am. There are those who are exempt only in the evening to agree on something with freelancers. Consider the difference between time zones if you have customers from other countries and cities.
Equip the workplace
Freelancer can work anywhere. Bar rack, in a hammock on the terrace, at the airport or in the coworking. Many attracts precisely such independence from the workspace, and someone successfully creates in this mode. But if you lack experience to concentrate on the task, even from the position lying, take care of your workplace. Everything is individually. Someone is better working alone at home, someone is inspired by a table in a cafe where life is boil.
Customize on business rhythm
Work out your rituals. When no one sees you, a big temptation is not shared / not to make makeup and laying and not to remove your favorite pajamas. Morning jogging, rhythmic music, shower, a cup of strong coffee, comfortable, but tidy clothes, several pages of inspirational reading will help you wake up and tune in to work.
Planning
You will be surprised how much efficiency grows if you have a clearly prescribed plan. Make lists of cases, set priorities. It is better to deal with this in the evening, in order for the night, while you sleep, your brain set up to the tasks set and found an optimal solution. For example, before dinner, you will make up the content plan and communicate with potential customers, during the day you will take care of household goods, and twice in the evening dedicate the article about the rest of Bali. But always lay the time for force majeure, because you are not a robot.
Keep track of time
Many freelancers fall into this trap. When there are no restrictions, the working day can stretch for 12-14 hours. Define Dadlanine for yourself, choose your rhythm, calculate the speed and efficiency. How much time are you ready to prepare posts in social networks ahead? And write a SEO article for 2000 characters? Customers will also appreciate your ability to dispose of your time and call fair time.
Keep focus
This is the most difficult. Moreover, when you went to free swimming and 80% of working time spend at home. But it is this skill that helps to achieve success. Freelancer has to raise the Olympic excerpt in order not to be distracted every time on a friendly telephone conversation, an interesting video on YouTube or a cat, which urgently need to feed and climb. Economic women are even harder to work at home. Dirty dishes I want to wash immediately, dust erased, things decompose in places ... if you are from the category of those who cannot focus while in the house of the Bardak, it is better to quickly finish with cleaning. Disconnect phone numbers and notifications in social networks, eliminate any factors that can knock out from working rhythm. But, of course, remember about the rest.
Arrange breaks
Watch how fast you are tired. Someone is important to make a 10-minute pause every hour, someone is ready to work 3-4 hours non-stop to relax half an hour or an hour. Freelancers too much spend time sitting at the computer, so ideally, if you spend your break in the fresh air without gadgets. Go to the balcony, Mark, make a charge, agree on a meeting with a friend, read the book, take a cake ... Let's relax your body.
Change the atmosphere
Contrary to myths, the freelance workers are spent a lot of time in a closed space, often plunging into a rather monotone work. They do not have the opportunity to close the office door and forget about work until the morning. Their "office" is always with you, like a house of cancer-hermit. It is important to "change the picture." It is useful to walk after work, go to the gym, dinner in a cafe or visit close. Ideal if you can leave somewhere on the weekend. It has been proven that new places and unusual classes increase brain efficiency and increase creativity. Resting, you will return home to your remote work with even great pleasure.
