Something freelance might missed

Well, surely you do miss something out when you’re freelancing at home or office. Due to the wide area to be taken care of, little thing like insurance, contract or even tax are always one that is missing in the list of a freelancer. Well, my wife and I are both freelancing at home, so we divided jobs among us, so I’m kind of free from some missing list :)

Insurance

InsuranceWe are not disable, so there is not much of benefit we are getting like social security disability insurance that helps disable in medical care. Most freelance job require sitting in front of computer, some serious injuries are often a common illness. My wife and I finally get our medical card :) Did you forgot about this, since you’ve been sitting there for day long?

Contract

ContractContract is like a protection to a freelancer. It surely the best way if you found a long-term service require from a company that hired you. A lot of freelancer forgot about contract and ended up their long-term became short-term. Client always around to look for a better offer, be it on price or service. I am now writing my contract :P

Framework

FrameworkLet’s face it, freelancers always wanted to work on the speed and get more job done than less. Framework is a good start, anything has its own framework, a Word document with nicely formatted, a PSD with guide ready and so on. Previously it took me 3 hours to code a Wordpress theme without a framework. Now, it only take 1 hour :)

I believe there are more to go, but I did not notice anything at the moment. If you have some idea about it, do share in comment :)

Freelance’s devil must die

A few point needed to be take seriously if you’re thinking about jumping into freelance. I was lucky enough to have a wife who is also a freelance :) Mainly she will remind me of lots of things…

Stop social network is not necessary

Social network
First thing people go online was to check their Facebook friends’ update and then, click here and there and started to get lost in the social network. Which is why I did not login to any social network beside Twitter :P

The real demon

Television class=
I think the only thing that can really let me stay still is TV. Turn off all the TVs and stay still on your seat. That’s what my wife would tell me to do most of the time.

Mobile phone

Mobile phone
Not a very big deal, but it does give interruption too. Especially when you have an urgent job on hand, it is recommended that you turn off the mobile phone, just in case somebody call in and start interrupting :? I normally place my mobile phone in my room while I’m working in my small office corner.

I seriously need to get to work and be more discipline :P Instead of wasting time here… Especially when I have a goal setup to achieve within this year :)
