“Paano mo nahahati ang oras mo?” — Ito ang tanong na madalas itanong sa freelancers. Sa bahay ka lang, pero andaming distractions. Kaya importanteng matutong mag-manage ng oras.
1. Magkaroon ng Daily Schedule
- Gumising ng consistent time
- Set working hours kahit nasa bahay
- Gumamit ng calendar (Google Calendar is great!)
2. Time Blocking
Assign specific time blocks for certain tasks.
- 9AM-11AM: Client work
- 11AM-12NN: Admin tasks
- 1PM-2PM: Learning/Skill Improvement
3. Pomodoro Technique
- Work for 25 minutes, rest for 5 minutes
- After 4 cycles, rest for 15–30 minutes
4. Eliminate Distractions
- Turn off phone notifications habang nagtatrabaho
- Mag-set ng dedicated workspace kahit sa maliit na corner
5. Track Your Hours
Gamitin ang Toggl or Clockify para malaman kung saan napupunta ang oras mo. Time audit = awareness.
Final Thought: Working from home is a blessing, pero it requires discipline. When you manage your time well, mas marami kang nagagawa, mas satisfied ang clients mo, at mas mabilis ang growth mo bilang freelancer.
