Hey everyone! I’m curious, how do you structure your day as a freelancer? 😊
Back when I was freelancing, I loved starting my mornings with creative work and saving the admin stuff for the afternoon.
What about you? Do you have a go-to routine or any productivity tips that keep you on track? Drop them below! 👇
@Ines Schuber Probably not the best approach but I don't really have a structure 🙃
I just wake up and start going through my to-do list in order of importance, if something time-sensitive comes up, I'll just shove it somewhere throughout the day ahah
@Luca Da Corte I do the same thing! Sometimes I even wake up with ideas for specific designs and I just have to get those out of my head first.
This question got me thinking; it’s really important to structure your day effectively to get things done!
For me, it starts with mindfulness in the morning—clearing my mind and following the plan I laid out the previous week.
@Nia Nguyen Love that you lay out a plan a week ahead of time 🙌
@Ines Schuber I usually do admin work in the morning before meetings, creative work, and then more admin stuff to close out the day if I need to. I usually use https://clockify.me/ to keep me in check

@Nicole Cambria Thanks for sharing this tool 🙏 I'll give it a go!
@Ines Schuber I try to create a to-do list at the end of each day so I have an idea of where to start in the morning. It seems I always wake up thinking about one specific project so I start there and work my way down the list.
Does anyone else have the problem of getting deep into a work...
@Jacquelyn Demshick thanks for sharing, I'd love to plan a day in advance as well so thank you for inspiring me!
Love that you started playing music, what instrument do you play? 🎶
