Need for Mind Management

As I venture out to set-up my career as a freelance writer, the most difficult bit that I realized is mind-management. I must agree that it is not easy as it might feels. As I began hunting for freelance writing opportunities, I did land up with a few of them. But I soon began to feel that, that was not what I was looking out to do. I wanted something different. But what exactly was I looking out for – I didn’t know. During this initial period, I must agree that I was not flooded with lots of orders and opportunities which I couldn’t handle. It is just that I was looking at building up a niche area of writing – I had thought about one- but could not find opportunities in those areas. I began thinking that I would work better and harder if I get opportunities in my line of work in the areas that I am looking at. But that was not the case to be. Soon I realized that I was doing nothing but procrastinating about my work. Every time I used to sit in front of my computer, I would merely end up searching for more opportunities on the Internet. I could not maintain the consistency of writing. I could have easily have built my profile upwards as a freelance writer taking up jobs as they came by, earned some money off them and kept looking for more and more opportunities in my area of interest. But I failed to do that. Now, as I am looking at a more focused approach to building up my freelance writing career I need to rebuild my portfolio of work. Through the coming days my intention would be focus on developing a mind management mechanism which will help me focus my energies with renewed vigour. I have spent some time thinking about the mechanism that I need to build up. The primarily most focus must be on managing my time as a freelance writer. I will keep updating my blog on my experiments!
