Coping Up on Several Freelance Projects

I admit I really had quite a difficult time today. I have been on my computer for the whole twelve hours and now my little kid is nagging me – that she want to play some simple game that she really loved to play when I get to be away from my PC. Right now I am at a wits end on what post topic that I need to come up, until I had a splendid idea on coping up with several freelance projects.

So how do I manage my time on many projects?

1. List down all things to do at the start of work.
2. Filter out all the unnecessary time wasters from that list.
3. Prioritize work that needs to be submitted immediately.
4. Say NO to work that needs to be done.
5. If possible hire someone, or buy a service that will save you time.
6. Concentrate and focus on finishing task one thing at a time.
7. Leave out other tasks that can be done at a later date.
8. Pass out opportunities that offer lesser pay.
9. If you can negotiate a deadline extension with the client, then do so.
10. Take time to rest after being pressured to do everything in the nick of time.

I left out the usual pictured post here so that I can proceed with the next task that I need to finish. Finding myself busy is something of a blessing to me because I get to earn more during the day.
