  2. 4 Time Tracking Tips That Will Double Your Productivity • According to MBO Partners’ The State of Independence in America Report, “four out of ten adult Americans are either currently working or have worked as an independent at one time during their careers”. This proves that the freelancer community is bringing a shift into the whole economy. • Not everyone could explain term “a freelancer” five years ago, now the competition between freelancers is harsher than ever. Anything that can be transformed into a competitive advantage is golden.

  3. 4 Time Tracking Tips That Will Double Your Productivity • With great power, comes great responsibility. This dogma of freelancing summarizes what it’s all about – freelancers have comparably high power over their time, but also they are fully responsible for being productive, which is reflected in their next month’s paycheck. • I absolutely know one inconvenient truth about tips. They’re all useless. Unless you try these tips on your daily routines. Here are four tips that have proven to be highly effective for many of the freelancer generation.

  4. Get organized  • Many ingenious ideas disappear even before you start utilizing them. They get lost in chunks of papers and emails. The simplest way to avoid that is having a place where you put all your notes. Evernote can be an option as it offers intuitive software for numerous platforms (mobile, web, PC, Mac). If you want something simpler, try Google Keep, which is integrated with other Google services. There are many perfect and different tools in the market, just find the best tool for your business.

  5. Track and analyze your work • Have you ever heard about person who likes time tracking? Yes, I have. Time tracking is a pain in the butt until you get into the habit. Get a time tracker app on your smartphone so that you could track your hours on the go. Time tracker app Mobile Worker is perfect for freelancers to manage different projects and track billable and non-billable hours. Track everything related to work – meetings, lunches, travels, etc. Then take the data and see if you can be more effective here or there, make the changes, and repeat the same again. Eventually you will find how to earn more in the same time.

  6. Be a realist • Face the fact that you will not be able to accept all the project offers. Some projects need to be turned down so that you could accept more interesting ones. Some project’s time increases twice. Experts recommend having a fourth of your regular schedule free so that you could have some wiggle room and be prepared for unexpected twists of life (such as illness). Also, most likely you want to keep doing such a job for a while, so burning yourself out in a month or two is shortsighted.

  7. Set regular work hours • Separating work and relaxation is key to a balanced life. If you need to take work back home with you, you are doing it wrong. If you try to convince yourself that you’re alright with doing some work after the actual work hours (which you have set by yourself, by the way) are over, it’s even worse. This will keep you in ‘work mode’ all the time. Even when you will be resting, it won’t be as relaxing as it should be. Therefore, set a regular schedule for yourself. Being in a routine is a good thing in this case. • Try to use these key tips every day and you will be able to keep productivity levels high. Productivity is the key of growing incomes. Productivity helps to have right work- life balance. Never-ending workday is damaging health, relationships and overall happiness. It is time to get back to work!
