I wake up at about 7am and work from 9am to 10pm and usually. Use the 2 hours in the morning to exercise, meditate, eat a good breakfast and surf the web so I won't be distracted or tired during the day. I have 3 steady clients in addition to one shots and such, I check my email and leads regularly, maintain a blog while in the stages of launching another, and revamping 2 old websites and a web comic. When I'm not working on something specific I'm actively participating in the design community and working on personal artwork. Managing time during projects can be difficult when you have them overlapping, I usually am able to avoid this by trying not to over extend and also by not working on too many things simultaneously, sometimes it works better to give a day or two to a single project or task exclusively. .-= Roberto Blake´s last blog ..<a href="http://robertoblake.com/blog/2009/09/interview-with-digital-artist-alena-lazareva/" rel="nofollow">Interview With Digital Artist Alena Lazareva</a> =-.

Freelance work is used in many different professions, but most commonly a freelancer works in the fields of writing and editing, photography, web design, graphic arts, or computer programming. In any given profession, freelancers sell or contract their work to a client rather than being employed by a business. A freelancer is a person who is self employed.

I mean use a glue to make things connected...?). I think writing on paper is better than doing in with a software. And I don't have problem with twitter, because I actually don't use it at all! :) Great article.
