It’s more difficult to organize a coherent train of thought through 50 pages than it is through 5. For one thing, there are more possible sidetracks for the train to take , risking it getting lost. If you have colleagues, get them to come in and help you organize. Up to now, how have you been organizing your big projects?

Organizing : Being a freelancer means you don’t often find time to get your workspace and files in order. I know each one’s routine may vary, but you get the gist of what I’m trying to say here. Keep your daily schedule even if you don’t have any actual work. Spend your time reading and searching for new assignments.

Colleges and local organizations can offer courses to help, like web design and workshops on e-commerce and blog creation. For many people out there an organized degree and university class structure is necessary because if they don’t have someone else pushing them to reach a goal, it wouldn’t happen.

I am not a freelancer as such but I do work from home and I’ve training my boss and colleagues to stop arranging meetings after 4pm (still working on that one), I’ve been forcing myself to step away from the keyboard and to stop checking work emails after hours.

Also I like your mention of putting it on the table and letting the person or people in charge of recruiting make the decision if the applicant is a good fit for the organization. After reading through thousands of job applications, it’s amazing how much a little copywriting training would help almost everyone.

Doing all of that at once also helped me develop strong organizing and executing skills!

By starting to organize the app at a higher level I created a bit of light over the whole project. Now I had a complete visual implementation: tasks were nicely organized by date in Today, Soon and Overdue. I also added a Help and FAQ section. Calling the class in other views was problematic, though. Loads of bugs.

First, it’s a crappy way to organize content. Imagine if your library organized its books that way. Bloggers choose to be freelancers, yes, but that means we’re out of potential retirement plans governments and other organizations create for 9 to 5ers. A big part of the problem, I think, is the blog format itself.
