It\u2019s essential to balance creativity and productivity for a thriving career \u2013 especially for freelance designers. The reason being if you sacrifice one for the other, you can\u2019t either create impressive work or complete by the deadline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProductivity\u201d being one of my favorite topics, let me help you stay productive as a designer while freelancing or working in the corporate world. Though it\u2019s a personal thing, I believe you\u2019ll be able to take some of these tips and tricks home with you. And those tips and tricks will help you boost your work potential.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/productivity-vs-productivity-tools\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: Productivity vs. Productivity Tools: What Works Best?\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Productivity vs. Productivity Tools: What Works Best?<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/productivity-vs-productivity-tools.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-13193 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/productivity-vs-productivity-tools.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">Productivity vs. Productivity Tools: What Works Best?<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen I was studying, all I needed was a notepad and a pen to keep track of all...\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>1. Pre-plan your day<\/h2>\n<p>You must have heard of the quote \u201cif you fail to plan, you plan to fail\u201d by Benjamin Franklin. You can create a prioritized to-do list every night for the next day or every morning for the day. It helps you to keep focused, avoid distractions when working, and plan all other tasks \u2013 personal or professional \u2013 better.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Keep a notebook<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s handy to keep a notebook or scrapbook for jotting down random ideas and tasks \u2013 it\u2019s fast and efficient too! Also, it helps to make rough designs, which speeds up the design process \u2013 especially if you find yourself waiting for some inspirational design ideas. You can also make notes to clear your head.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Create to-do lists<\/h2>\n<p>You must have experienced your brain, giving you a random idea or reminding you of a random task \u2013 out of the blue! It\u2019s best to write such tasks down to create to-do lists. Also, you should create to-do lists for projects and tasks at home and work. It helps your brain to stay focused on the task at hand.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/productivity-tips-for-freelance-web-designers\/create-to-do-lists.jpg\" alt=\"create-to-do-lists\" width=\"800\" height=\"700\"><\/figure>\n<h2>4. Break down tasks<\/h2>\n<p>You may be working on multiple projects \u2013 big or small. Maybe a mix of personal and professional projects? In either case, it\u2019s best to break down those projects into smaller tasks until you can\u2019t break them down further. Then, you can work on the big ones as planned and the small ones whenever you have a moment.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Track your time<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s not uncommon to start browsing social media for five minutes and end up wasting an hour of your crucial time. If possible, you should track your time, and even if not, you should always manage your time. If you know where your time flies by, you can avoid doing unproductive tasks and focus on real projects.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Focus on one task<\/h2>\n<p>The myth of multitasking is it helps accomplish multiple tasks. The human brain can do one task at a time, and it only switches from task to task \u2013 so fast that you don\u2019t feel it. So, it\u2019s best to focus on one task at a time to achieve the best results. Please try monotasking, and you\u2019ll realize you can do tasks faster.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Plan deliverables<\/h2>\n<p>If you ask me, perfection is an unattainable goal. When you work with no clear idea of the end goal or result, you work for perfection, which never comes. So, you work endlessly and tirelessly. Instead, you should plan deliverables for every task and work for deliverables. If you don\u2019t like it, you can always update it.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Opt for a checklist<\/h2>\n<p>Using checklists is one of my favorite productivity hacks. You can create and reuse checklists for your projects. It helps to standardize workflows and avoid last-minute issues. For example, you can create a checklist for the basic inputs you need for every project or a deliverable checklist to confirm success.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Design in iterations<\/h2>\n<p>When you work tirelessly, your mind loses energy and focus, which in turn harms your creativity. It\u2019s better to work in iterations; you can either work in drafts (complete the whole task, then repeat to improve it) or in proportions (do some part, then one more part, and repeat the process until it\u2019s completed).<\/p>\n<h2>10. Get early feedback<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s one of my favorite tips \u2013 you should ask for and give feedback early in a design project. When you\u2019ve completed the first iteration of the design process, you should get feedback from the client and your team. It helps you to catch and fix errors early in the project, helping create a better and faster deliverable.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/productivity-tips-for-freelance-web-designers\/feedback-on-work.jpg\" alt=\"feedback-on-work\" width=\"800\" height=\"612\"><\/figure>\n<h2>11. Set DND in devices<\/h2>\n<p>When you need to be super-focused for important tasks, it\u2019s best to keep your devices (including your computer) in DND or Silent mode. You can always check for important notifications during your break or after the task is finished. You\u2019ll find yourself creating designs more creatively and effectively using this tip.<\/p>\n<h2>12. Take regular breaks<\/h2>\n<p>If you work tirelessly on a design project, you may become tireless and lose creativity \u2013 at least partly. It\u2019s good to take regular breaks after some work time. You can follow the Pomodoro Technique: 25-minute work followed by a break of 5 minutes. If you find it too short (like me), just double both these numbers.<\/p>\n<h2>13. Follow body rhythm<\/h2>\n<p>Everyone has a circadian rhythm \u2013 it\u2019s a natural process that regulates the sleep-wake cycle of every human being. We all have a unique circadian rhythm, which gives us some hours every day when we\u2019re more creative or energetic. You must get to know your best hours in a day and work on important tasks then.<\/p>\n<h2>14. Incentivize yourself<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s a well-known fact that rewards help people achieve more goals \u2013 even if it\u2019s yourself giving the rewards (interesting, right?). You need not aim for pricey rewards, but you can give anything you enjoy. For example, eat your favorite food, go for a quick walk, host a game night, or watch your favorite show.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/productivity-tips-for-freelance-web-designers\/incentivize-yourself.jpg\" alt=\"incentivize-yourself\" width=\"800\" height=\"420\"><\/figure>\n<h2>15. Delegate minor tasks<\/h2>\n<p>You should focus on the main task and delegate minor tasks to your team or outsource them. The reason being it will help you put more energy into the essential tasks, which in turn will help drive your productivity.<\/p>\n<p>For example, correcting color, removing background, retouching photos, and similar tasks.<\/p>\n<h2>16. Check design galleries<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, you may be looking for some inspiration for your design project. In such moments, you can check out design galleries or samples of others to get some inspiration. If you don\u2019t know any design gallery, you can check out <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/web-designers-on-dribbble\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dribble<\/a>, or you can simply search for \u201cdesign inspiration\u201d on Google or Bing.<\/p>\n<h2>17. Use graphic templates<\/h2>\n<p>Graphic templates are good for inspiration and great to build on top of. You can always save repetitive work by utilizing one of the graphic templates from the market. Also, you can create your own template and reuse it repeatedly to save efforts and speed up your work, thus improving your productivity.<\/p>\n<h2>18. Learn & use shortcuts<\/h2>\n<p>Using keyboard shortcuts is the easiest way to speed up your work. First, you should learn and practice keyboard shortcuts for <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/mac-keyboard-shortcuts\/\" rel=\"noopener\">macOS<\/a> or <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/100-keyboard-shortcuts-windows\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Windows<\/a>. Then, you should memorize shortcuts for commonly-used programs such as <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/adobe-illustrator-keyboard-shortcuts\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adobe Illustrator<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/adobe-photoshop-keyboard-shortcuts\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adobe Photoshop<\/a>. You can check shortcuts for others <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/designer-keyboard-shortcuts-webapp\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>19. Tidy desk & desktop<\/h2>\n<p>Tidy desk, tidy mind. Do you agree? It\u2019s hard for you to focus if your desk is clouded with notes, sketches, and\/or plates. Similarly, if your desktop is full of notes and unworthy tabs.<\/p>\n<p>First, you must get organized: clean your desk and desktop and close unwanted tabs and apps, then try to focus on your task.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/productivity-tips-for-freelance-web-designers\/tidy-desk.jpg\" alt=\"tidy-desk\" width=\"800\" height=\"642\"><\/figure>\n<h2>20. Use batch processing<\/h2>\n<p>You must learn batch processing as it helps automate a lot of mundane tasks like resizing images, changing image formats, applying compression, and more. Adobe Photoshop and many other design applications support batch processing. Please search online for \u201cbatch processing in &lt;YOUR TOOL&gt;\u201d for details.<\/p>\n<h2>21. Create user personas<\/h2>\n<p>A user persona is a great methodology for understanding your target audience or users, which helps you to create great designs. It gives you clarity when solving a design problem. And it\u2019s easy to create them too; you can create personas with little research and help from tools like <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hubspot.com\/make-my-persona\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Make My Persona<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Bonus: Do usability testing<\/h2>\n<p>Usability testing is a novel approach that helps resolve design problems early in the design process. You should target to do the usability testing during the prototyping process. It will help you gain relevant feedback from potential users on your designs, avoiding issues later, and thus speeding up the process.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/productivity-tips-for-freelance-web-designers\/usability-testing.jpg\" alt=\"usability-testing\" width=\"800\" height=\"667\"><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boost your productivity as a freelance web designer with these useful tips.
