64. A day in the life of a freelance copywriter

15 Minute Freelancer

Follow me for a day! In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of a typical day as a freelance copywriter, including:

• Revisiting theme days as a way to structure your week
• Do I really work just five hours a day?
• Reducing decision fatigue and making the most of "shark mode"
• How I split my day between deep work and shallow work
• Figuring out your anchor actions to get the important bits done.

"One of the things that I love most about working for myself is the flexibility. I couldn't spend my days like this if I didn't work for myself. But that flexibility and freedom does require a bit of planning and discipline to achieve."
