People go freelancing for various reasons. Someone is just looking for a part-time job, since the basic salary is not enough. Someone in the future wants to completely switch to remote work. It is quite difficult to combine them, especially at first. I would like to come home after work and relax, but no, you need to look for orders and fulfill them. What to do?
1. Be clear about where the time goes. You no longer have the opportunity to lie aimlessly on the couch watching TV or go to a cafe with your friends every evening after work. Prioritize correctly.
2. Free up time, ask for help around the house from loved ones. If your tongue does not turn to ask your husband to cook dinner or vacuum - learn! Forget about all your quarrels with your mother-in-law and entrust your child to her for a few hours. As a last resort, buy your own time: hire a nanny or housekeeper, sometimes order ready-made meals.
3. Learn to fulfill more expensive orders. For example, in copywriting, these are selling texts. You can write as many articles on the stock exchange as you like at 30 rubles per 1000 characters, paying off only minor expenses. Or you can learn the art of creating a selling text and get 10,000 rubles per page. Appreciate your time, it is especially valuable for you.
4. Work at any free moment. Again, an example from copywriting: you can think over texts on the road and during breaks. Use programs that are synchronized on your phone and computer. For example, Evernote or the like. Having drawn up a rough outline of the text on the way home, you will spend less time at home on it. This will save you a lot of time and effort.
