When it\u2019s time to rest, you have to rest; when it\u2019s time to work, then get up and start work. I know these things may sound cliche, but I think there is no other way around it; it\u2019s just one of the common consequences of being a freelancer.<\/p>\n<h2>Distractions<\/h2>\n<p>Another problem freelancers may face when working at home is distractions.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike at the office where the environment has been set for work, the house is still a house with its daily ins and outs: loud music or the sound of the TV, your mother screaming at your siblings to pick up after them, the sound of your father or uncle fixing up the kitchen, the broken toilet, clearing the garage or mowing the backyard. You can probably imagine the whole scene in your head now.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/roadmap-to-freelancers-part3\/distractions.jpg\" alt=\"distractions\" width=\"800\" height=\"508\"><\/figure>\n<p>To overcome a situation like this, you can renovate your own home office for a bit more privacy as most freelancers do, or you can work at cafes or coworking spaces, but make sure your project budget is sufficient to pay for the cost.<\/p>\n<p>The point here is to overcome the distraction by finding your most comfortable environment to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/five-ways-to-keep-yourself-focused-at-work\/\" rel=\"noopener\">focus on finishing your project<\/a> \u2014 without distraction.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/tools-to-stay-focus\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: 6 Tools to Help Focus Better at Work\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">6 Tools to Help Focus Better at Work<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/tools-to-stay-focus.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-17474 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/tools-to-stay-focus.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">6 Tools to Help Focus Better at Work<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tEveryone who works on a computer would know that it's not easy to concentrate on work the entire...\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Subcontracting<\/h2>\n<p>Being a freelancer does not mean that you will work alone 100% of the time. If you feel that your skills are not as good as a friend\u2019s, then you can offer him or her the opportunity to carry out parts of your project to deliver a better result for your client.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to helping your friend financially, you can also reduce your workload and focus more time in finishing other aspects of the project or even work on another project.<\/p>\n<h2>Invoicing<\/h2>\n<p>Sending an Invoice may vary depending on the contract. Let\u2019s say the project is estimated to be accomplished within three months. In this case, I usually will send two invoices. Work starts once the client has paid an agreed downpayment amount after signing the contract.<\/p>\n<p>My first invoice will be sent when the project has progressed about fifty percent of the way. The second invoice will be sent when the final work is ready to be delivered. Your case will probably differ greatly from mine, so make your own rules on how you want to update your clients on the progress and invoice them accordingly.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/roadmap-to-freelancers-part3\/invoicing.jpg\" alt=\"invoicing\" width=\"800\" height=\"654\"><\/figure>\n<p>For more on the matter, I suggest you read these articles, one from Kevin Harter on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/invoice-freelance-clients-professionally\/\" rel=\"noopener\">how to send an invoice to clients professionally<\/a>, and another from Smashing Magazine that has also shared some practical tips on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashingmagazine.com\/2009\/11\/05\/invoice-like-a-pro\/\">how to invoice your clients like a Pro<\/a> (beautiful invoice templates included).<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/accounting-invoicing-services-for-freelance-designers\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: Best Invoicing & Accounting Tools For Freelancers\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Best Invoicing & Accounting Tools For Freelancers<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/accounting-invoicing-services-for-freelance-designers.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-9460 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/accounting-invoicing-services-for-freelance-designers.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">Best Invoicing & Accounting Tools For Freelancers<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCompilation of free invoicing tools and services to handle your billing systems and invoices.

Every job and profession has its own challenges; whether you work at an office with its strict rules or work from home where you work by your own rules, each situation has its own advantages and disadvantages.<\/p>\n<p>When you have decided to go freelance, you should be aware of the consequences ahead, but don\u2019t make it stop you from being a freelancer or achieving the dream you wish to achieve.
