A Typical Day in the Life of a Six Figure Freelancer – Ep 182

July 5, 2022

In today’s episode of The Advanced Freelancing Podcast, I am sharing what a typical day looks like for a six-figure freelancer, which is a popular question that I get asked about a lot. This will look a little bit different based on who the person is and what type of projects they work on. 

I’m going to walk you through what a typical day in my business looks like. And then I’m going to talk to you about some of the logistics that I use to stay organized and some of the strategies that I use to minimize the amount of time that I spend working in the business. 

I think burnout is a really common issue for a lot of freelancers, who see the only path to scaling as being adding more hours. I discuss this inside The Six-Figure Freelancer book. And there’s a lot of my business strategies in there as well that can help you if you’re trying to figure out what an ideal day or an ideal week looks like for you.

 

Here are some things we covered in this episode:

  • A typical day for six-figure freelancers 
  • Creating your ideal day
  • How many hours I typically work per week
  • Morning routines to set the tone for the day
  • Tips to prevent anxiety and burnout
  • How to chuck tasks for maximum productivity
  • Why I don’t time block every task
  • The value of non-meeting days
  • How meetings drain your energy and 
  • Software that is a game-changer
  • How I plan my day and evaluate my to-do list
  • When client work occurs
  • The importance of marketing activities
  • Tips for repetitive tasks
  • How to disconnect from work
  • How to avoid burnout
  • Resource: The Six-Figure Freelancer by Laura Briggs
  • Laura’s Quote of the week: “I think burnout is a really common issue for a lot of freelancers, who see the only path to scaling as being adding more hours.”
