Recommendation

Most business writers say freelancers should wake up early to make the most of the day, but if you’re a night owl, or you’re working around your children’s schedule, flexibility is one of the perks of the freelancing life. You can organize your work day to suit your circumstances. Every work-at-home experience is different, and it takes time to figure out which productivity hacks work best for you. According to Julia Horvath’s charming, first-person “Better Humans” article on Medium, your home office schedule is the key to your success. Setting long and short-term goals will help you meet deadlines and stay organized. If you’re new to working “location-independently,” this is a solid place to start.

Take-Aways

  • “Location-independent” workers are just as productive as office workers.
  • Deadlines help you plan and stay on a schedule.
  • Be realistic about the time your work demands. That will help you set an achievable schedule.
