5. Don't Get Distracted
They say that time flies when you're having fun, but it
passes even faster when you have a deadline to meet. If
you're on a tight schedule, it is vital that you don't
let unwanted distractions mess up your day.
To keep things on track, get someone to cover your phone
calls, or just put the answering machine on. Clear your
desk of everything that isn't related to the job in hand,
and make an early start. Don't let pencil-sharpening and
other delaying tactics eat up valuable time. Making
progress in the first hour is essential if you want to
break the back of a difficult job.
Deadlines are frustrating, but they're also a perfect
cure to the problem of procrastination. When you have to
get things done by a certain time, there's simply no room
for distractions.

Testimonials
"I took a chance one day when I was flush and sent a few bucks to gain access to the Go Freelance Professional Edition. Since then, I've edited a sales letter, a follow-up letter, an 11-page Web site, and a brochure. I'm 'on call' to do pinch-hit proofreading for a medical newsletter editor in Florida ..and I've landed a gig editing a new Canadian magazine coming out this fall. All this from taking a chance on Go Freelance."
