Description
This short course covers efficiency, productivity, and time management strategies for freelancers. If you’re easily distracted, grappling with procrastination, and/or you really want to get more proper work done during the day – basically, the things that people working from home, unsupervised, often struggle with – then this course is for you. It delves into a plethora of anti-distraction techniques and explains quick, simple, and immediate ways in which we can improve our concentration and creativity, reduce the time we spend on administrative tasks, and make the most of our working hours. It also explains how freelancers and remote workers can manage their time more broadly, so you can be as flexible as possible, potentially take on more work and increase your profits – or just work less.As with all the Bite-Size Freelance courses, this one is designed to be as universal as possible, and the emphasis is on easy, practical methods that you can implement immediately, regardless of who you are, where you are, or what you do. Both aspiring and existing freelancers can benefit from the techniques covered in this course, and you don’t even have to be freelance or self-employed. If you work or study from home or remotely, then this course will help you do that more efficiently – and it’s short enough to do on your lunch break.
