I especially like the bit about 95% failure to 5% success. Some days it really feels that way. Then you hit that home run and you feel great, ready for the next round.

Great article. I think organising yourself, especially by setting up solid business systems, is really important for freelancers.

I enjoyed the read. I am new to the freelance gig and have found myself doing most of these things out of habit. Most will keep you sane and help with your level of productivity. I really find that freedom is the greatest part of being a freelancer. I find exercise to be a very helpful way to connect my morning and afternoon. A good trail run gets me back in the game..

Thanks for the insight!

Not only are your tips good, they are very well organized and presented. This bit might be a big help to me and to the guys I’ll share them with. Procrastination has been my monster.monster.

Great article!

Personally, I hate coffee and I prefer to drink tea when freelancing. My routine to focus is to drink tea or take a shower before hand; it helps me relax and have concentration on what I’m doing.

Great tips. Although some of them may seem “obvious”, I think far too many web designers choose to ignore many of these tips.

I can tell you first hand, it really does help to go outside!
