30. 2. PLAN YOUR DAYS AHEAD
 Allow yourself an hour or so
at the beginning of each work
week, or the last hour of the
previous week to plan the
upcoming week. Then it’ll be
easier for you to plan how to
spend your hours to reach the
deadlines you have upcoming.
The more ongoing projects
you have, the more important
this is.

31. 3. LEARN TO SAY NO!
 If you don’t have the time for another client at the
moment, it’s important to be able to realize it and say
no. It is the most fair thing to yourself, your existing
client and the new ones that knock on your door.
Worst case scenario is saying yes to too many and it
having consequences for existing clients. You always
want to make sure you have enough time to give your
current clients the best service you can.
