Make Time For Your Own Projects

I’m all for writers having projects independent of their client work. For example, I’m currently writing a book, plus I have this blog that I (sporadically) maintain. I know plenty of writers who have blogs and other revenue streams outside what they do for clients.

The hard part about having projects of your own is finding time to work on them. You can easily grow tired of writing if you spend all your time on client projects. That leaves you with no time for doing any outside work you have planned. (This is what often happens to me.)

Schedule time to do your own work, just like you schedule time to do client work. If you don’t make time for personal projects, you may never get to them.

What do you to to make sure you have time to work on your own projects?
