How to Manage Your Time as a Work-From-Home Freelancer

Being self-employed and working from home come with a staggering amount of freedom. I have a few meetings or calls every week, and I definitely have deadlines, but I mostly set my own schedule and work as much or as little as I want.

During the school year, it's fairly easy to stick to a normal-ish (7:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.) schedule, since that's when my son is at school. In the summer, however, I have a 15-year-old at home, and we have all sorts of travel, day trips, and other non-work activities planned.

To make my work goals, I follow a much more rigid procedure than I do during the school year. It's a system that takes advantage of my flexibility, but also relies on a sort of personal rigidity.
