I work 4 days as a high school teacher, I find I am working most waking hours God sent and am too tired even on my day off and @ w'end when I just want to rest. My husband and I usually swap 'shifts' he's off when I get home. He's very hands on MA. But I can't seem to appreciate his contribution and find myself blaming him for having to work and leave my kids. Time management needs lots of work. How do you advise I start? What would a good timetable look like if i come home by 5-530 each day with still more to do? Much appreciated and looking forward to your advise. Tahera.

Do you know what type of freelance writing you plan to pursue (e.g. magazine/print publications, online content markets, B2C or B2b copywriting)? This will determine how you approach your market when seeking writing opportunities. I recommend getting a basic website with an online portfolio of your work. Wordpress is an inexpensive, user-friendly option. www.absolutewrite.com/forum is a great place to learn everything you need to get started. Thanks for stopping by to comment.

Agree with you - having a set schedule is important. It give you the boundaries you need for knowing when it's time to stop working and focus on other ares of your life. Glad to know you and your husband are working form home together well. :) Jazak Allah khair for stopping by to read and comment. Agree with you – having a set schedule is important.

They should have something like this for the men too. Both myself and my husband are freelancers trying to set up our own business, and we are newly married so it's not an easy journey because there's alot of new things in our life Subhanallah. Like you said the excitment when starting up is so much that you can pull all-nighters. I found myself doing that alot esp before my launch in December. I strongly feel that setting strict structure to your schedule will help alot as you can have time for all the important things rather than treat it on an adhoc basis and if and when you have the time. This can really cause some problems. Khair Inshallah May Allah make it easy for all of us :) I will also post this on www.halfourdeen.com and www.facebook.com/halfourdeen who I do some freelance marketing for, there are lots of married couples out there who could benefit from this article.
