In this Monday with Michael episode, I want to take you behind the scenes to discover what a day in the life of a freelancer looks like. If you want to quit your job and work at home, you'll love this one.
As a freelancer it can be easy to fall into an employee mindset
and not do the big stuff that moves the needle. When you put
systems in place and stop jumping from one task to another you will
be amazed how much more freedom you actually have! Having
discipline allows you to:
1. Work smarter, not harder
2. Write more efficiently
3. Have more freedom to do the stuff you want to do
There is a lot of advice out there on how to structure your time as a freelancer, but at the end of the day you need to find what works for you! Here is how I structure my time:
1. Writing Days
On writing days, all I do is write. I have already done my
outlining usually the day before, so all I have to do is focus on
writing content.
2. Inspire Your Success Days
On these days I record podcasts or coach my one on one writing
students.
3. Researching, Outlining and Editing Days
I usually only spend half the day doing this and spend the other
half working on my golf game.
4. Free Days
It’s important to schedule these days to recharge!
Final tip: Plan out your schedule for the next day the night
before! It really does shift the mindset when you know exactly what
you need to do the next day when you wake up. You can hit the
ground running!
