If you ever decide to take a break to work on a project or to get some much-needed rest, good freelancers like Joe could take over other projects you have on the go for a week or two. Let Joe take on all the coding that goes into a project while you work on the design side of things. And you get to take care of yourself.

If you don’t give yourself one, you’ll subconsciously start creating your own breaks – by cutting corners, skimping on quality, rushing projects. You’ll have more revisions than usual, and that takes time away from projects that earn you money. Don’t freak out that you don’t have a project to work on.

How do you tell your clients that you need an extension on a project because you’re sick? They won’t be shocked and dismayed when you finally do announce there’s no way in hell you can get out of bed and that their project is going to be late. If a client gets sick, you can bet the project gets pushed back. Scheduling helps.
