Paula, no rush. :) I have something for next week.

Emily, good for you! I'm about to make good by going to exercise.

Thanks, Jenn. :-)

Emily - trust me - I know what you mean. I have to remind myself some times, too. But after 30+years of corporate life, it's not as hard to remember as it was. :-)

Working on it, Lori. I started jotting things down last night. I have a crazy busy week (I'm writing pretty much an entire special section that's due Friday, but the initial interviews aren't until this afternoon), so it might be the weekend before I can polish something up for you.

Thanks Lori :o) Just to re-iterate point number 10, I've actually just got back from lunch with a friend (actually my old boss from my corporate job!), and I'm planning on curling up with a good book and the cat for the rest of the afternoon. Although, technically, I work Mon-Thur, I'm going on holiday on Thursday so I've made sure I'm pretty much up-to-date with client work, so I'm giving myself the afternoon off.

Great tips Cathy! It's difficult to pick a best tip from this list. They're all great reminders. 🙂

Emily, it's great seeing you here! I like #10, too. If you don't take time for yourself, why freelance?

Great tips Cathy. Number 10 is also the reason I left a corporate career, but it's easy to forget that!

Thank you, Lori, for the kind words and the real estate. ;-)

Thanks, Paula. Simple is how I like it. ;-)

Great post, Cathy. As usual, you keep it clear and simple. Common sense never hurts!
