Yesterday, I had a hard time getting started, lacking the will to just do it. I tried taking breaks, doing something else in the house, but to no avail. Then I realized I had to urgently complete an errand, so I got ready and went out to accomplish it.
What happened when I returned was amazing. […]
Lori makes me laugh with Phrases That are Just Wrong. She lists down some of the mistakes she’s encountered, proving once and for all that despite the improvements in spelling and grammar checks, nothing beats the proofreading power of human brain (or better yet, someone else’s brain).
Totally hilarious phrases like “We search pubic records” are […]
Whether you burn your bridges or assume clients know about your service, freelanceuk.com has got a useful article for you. Not only does it list what not to do as a freelancer, it also provides a brief explanation of why these shouldn’t be done.

Freelance Sprout explores the case for freelance bidding sites, citing a common problem:
The reason many established writers turn up their noses at freelance bidding sites is because there is a tendency for people to list projects on these sites looking for an awful lot of work for very little money. It can be hard for […]
It is perhaps every marketer’s dream to maximize word-of-mouth, for it is a very powerful way to promote an idea, service, or product.

The title of the article I’m featuring, To Freelance for Trade Magazines be a Team Player reminds me a valuable insight by CSJ:
Most of us help each other out, mutually we’ve understood that the every-designer-for-himself mantra does nothing good for the industry.
It may be hard to see a relation between openness among designers and the […]
I’ve written quite a bit on networking for freelancers, but there’s always more information to digest and apply. So that’s why I’m glad Fiona King recently shared with me 40+ Networking Tools for Freelancers, which is available over here.
A word of warning though: the article isn’t really a list of effective networking tools, but a […]
I’ve tried keeping myself fit, but with my busy schedule, I simply can’t give my personal fitness the attention it deserves.
That’s why I’ve hired someone to do that for me. Where I live, a gym membership is very affordable. But that’s not the case with a personal trainer. Yet I still believe it’s well worth […]
Consider this my (somewhat) unreserved recommendation of Dell’s XPS M1330. I signed up for a 12-month installment plan for this notebook, for the following reasons:
Portability. My previous laptop, which had a 15.4″ display, was a joy to use thanks to the big screen. Unfortunately, bringing it around with me was another story. The XPS M1330 […]
As you may know, I’m currently working out of home. Prateek Dayal has his own methods of being productive while away from homebase, and it’s worth reading what he has to say. We can apply his advice in a more general sense, translating it into a great guide on how to get stuff done while […]
