Putting confidence into your copy almost to the point of arrogance is pretty powerful stuff, and it works out great for a lot of people. However, all too often this confidence turns to cockiness. If you’re still not sure, I’ll be honest – I’m probably not going to be able to help you yet, because this takes confidence on both sides.

Make sure you choose an organizer that you feel confident and comfortable using. Those who lose track of time might want a system with a programmable alarm, left-brain types generally need lots of space for lists, while creative folks might prefer a less linear "mind-map" way of organizing projects and to-do's.

If you don’t give yourself one, you’ll subconsciously start creating your own breaks – by cutting corners, skimping on quality, rushing projects. You’ll have more revisions than usual, and that takes time away from projects that earn you money. Don’t freak out that you don’t have a project to work on.

For example, if a profit report is due within a few days, and another project is due within a week, the more urgent task should be tackled first. Long projects can be broken into smaller, more doable pieces.

How do you tell your clients that you need an extension on a project because you’re sick? They won’t be shocked and dismayed when you finally do announce there’s no way in hell you can get out of bed and that their project is going to be late.
