How do you free up time as a busy freelancer to do the work you love?
As a busy freelancer, it can be easy to get caught up in the day-to-day tasks and responsibilities that come with running your own business. But what if I told you that there are ways to free up your time, so you can focus on the work you love?
Here are a few tips to help you out:
1. Automate repetitive tasks: Use tools and software to automate tasks such as invoicing, scheduling, and email marketing.
2. Outsource non-core tasks: Hire a virtual assistant or specialized freelancer to handle tasks that are not directly related to your core business.
3. Prioritize your time: Identify the tasks that are most important to your business and prioritize them.
4. Learn to say 'no': Don't take on projects that are not a good fit for your business or that will take away from your ability to focus on the work you love.
5. Make time for yourself: Take breaks, schedule time for yourself
With a little bit of planning you can free up your time as a busy freelancer and focus on the work you love

- Thanks for your great tips Josh. My biggest breakthrough as a freelancer was your point 4, learning to say 'no'. It really freed me from projects I didn't like and gave me extra time to do things to attract the jobs I really wanted.
- Time blocking/Planning/Prioritise, if possible!
- Great question @Josh Hester, I've just sent you a DM!
- I block out time in my calendar for planned work, admin tasks etc. I'm also realistic with deadlines and what I can actually get done. Sometimes clients want stuff started ASAP and it's not always feasible.
