Time management is essential for any type of career but it is extremely important when you work from home as a freelance writer. If you do not keep a close watch on the different areas of time, you will run into trouble by running out of time. 

If it is a day when I am writing articles for one of the many content sites I work on, I must carefully watch my time. Do I use a set schedule? Nope that is too easy to mess up. Instead, I write an article or two off the top of my head and then get up and do some type of physical activity. This allows me to get both my articles done and the housework as well.

Just as you have lunchtime in a regular job, you must take time away from work to eat your lunch. Use this time to check your emails, play a game, eat, or call a friend. Usually I am eating as I type an article, and use my breaks to do something physical. Trust me with others living in my house, there is always plenty of housework to do right along with my paid work. 

No schedule is going to work for everyone, so it is important to figure out what works for you. Make the time you have work for you, and you will accomplish more within your limited writing time.
