That way, you can open your email on the right and use the timers to see how long it takes you to get through your inbox. I really speed through my client emails this way.

Gen Ys... When will they learn. At 18 I hardly think you’ve had enough time to fully grasp the concepts of freelancing, or even understand the industry fully.

Also it is good to spend time reviewing what you've done in the busy years, when perhaps you were too busy spending all your time chasing the $$$ and meeting dealines. You might notice that you've drifted off-course from the type of projects you aimed to work on when setting out, or that the range of projects or clients has narrowed, or the quality (or fees) isn't as good as a few years ago. Taking time out every now and then to review past work and update your website, portfolio or business strategy isn't quite work and isn't quite holiday, but is important and may help re-inpire you if you're feeling jaded or at a loose end.

I was taking it beyond multi-tasking, to a new term I coined, "chaos-tasking". Some of your tips have given me new hope, so that I may be able to escape throwing myself in front of a bus (I am exaggerating now, so no need to call a crisis intervention support group on my behalf), by using some time management apps and automating some of my tasks. Thanks for saving my life! I was about ready to go crazy trying to do too many things at once. I was taking it beyond multi-tasking, to a new term I coined, “chaos-tasking”.

Then I wouldn't have to manage my time at all. This is what I will be working on. Check out "4 hour work week" by Timothy Ferris for starters. I would like to work one month and take 11 off.

BTW - if you have to remind yourself to work, you need to find a real job - freelance is not for you. Buy a really good office chair – best investment in productivity you can make.
