Freelance Writing and Research

One of the problems that freelance writers face when they are working from home is how to keep track of projects. If you are working on more than one project at a time then it is difficult to keep all of the deadlines in your head. One way that a fellow writer does it is to keep track of all work in an exel spreadsheet. On this sheet you input the date you started the project, the due date for completion, progress, invoice sent and payment received sections. When you do this with your work you can see at a glance where everything is and at what stage of the project you are on.While I am not quite as organized as this I do have a system of sorts for keeping track of work. I also note down at what stage of a project I have reached on any given day. Whatever system you use, keeping track of the workflow will make your life as a freelancer less stressful.
