Elance Blog: How to Set Expectations with Clients and Avoid Stress
Over the weeks that have passed, I have been eagerly working online and spending a bunch of my time on this more than anything else in my life. But as time went by, I grew tired of meeting deadlines that keeps me off from "FUN" Time!!!--I said, Hey! Online jobs shouldn't be this harsh on me! Something must be done."
Researches on how to make the most of my time (without compromising leisure time) stayed on my Top 10 To-Do List for my daily activities online. From forums, to posts and newsletters, then to blogs, I have learned a lot more about control. Eventually, I have realized how I was only creating the problem with myself to get my jobs done on time---I was getting distracted & disorganized, joggling many projects out of balance. Sadly, the quality of my work flunked so I tried to work on my "focusing" skills and continued on my research.
Luckily, this blog that I have just read moments ago have made my researches paid off. ;-)
