Develop freelance rituals beats riding inspiration
We love the buzz of an exciting new freelance project. Inspiration strikes and we off to a flying start.
We love our work.
But, our client doesn’t.
The wave of inspiration ends and momentum tanks.
This is where rituals come in.
Rituals help you stay focussed. Rituals stop procrastination.
Having rituals means work gets done.
Maybe your ritual is protecting the first two hours of your day for your main project. While background whale noises help avoid distractions.
Maybe your ritual is based on a certain room. Or a desk. Or a favourite chair. Or, I dunno, a treehouse. When you’re there you focus on nothing but your main project.
Maybe your ritual is working with coffee on one side, snacks on the other, while your noise cancelling headphones blast out 90’s pop tunes.
Whatever your ritual, show up every day. With or without inspiration.
It’s how freelance projects get done.
