They helped me realize why I'm working the way I'm working, and even raised some questions. Maybe I could take a day off during the week sometime (if I planned to make it up on the weekend, of course.) I also work at home with my husband. Small world! He is not self-employed though, so sometimes it can be a problem when he's finished working at 4 and I'm still in my office pounding out copy. I would love for us to work together one day, but wonder about the challenges that likely come with working with your spouse. I'd love to hear how it works for you and your wife! Also, you can see the results of the above survey here: http://www.freelancewriterville.com/?p=2116. Apparently most freelancers stick to a schedule. Who knew? Hi Peter,

I haven't been consulting for too long but it is interesting what has become of my daily routine now that it does not involve commuting nor engaging in routine on-the-job tasks that seemed to sap hours out of my days when I worked a traditional job. I (along with my partner, my wife) work longer and harder now. Yet, waking up and moving into the next room (office) makes us forget all that. The freedom is extraordinary, as is the worry if work slows down. I tend to work based on deadlines rather than keep a routine. Now that social media networking has become relevant I do take time to blog and tweet, and that has to be routine otherwise the long-term effects won't be felt. But I feel the rush of being able to work on a project from the comforts of home can propel me through the night if need be. Keep up the great posts ...
