Notes/recap: If you aren’t hitting your income goals on a regular basis, it’s probably less because of a failure on your part, and more because the math doesn’t add up. Do not try to do a direct conversion from an employee salary to a 40 hour work week to freelancing hourly rates. If nothing else, […]
Monthly recap time! Getting back on track with these, oh yeah! How I spent my time: I tracked about 50 hours total in April, which is about on track with my averages, considering I took March 30-April 12 off from work. Out of that time: Most of it (40.7) was internal tracking. The two […]
I’ve had several requests to bring back the monthly recaps, and now that things are a little less jam-packed over here, I want to do so…but I also wanted to catch up on previous recaps. So, here you have it: one monster recap for the last five months or so. Of course, I typed it […]
I love talking to other freelancers. Sharing battle stories, celebrating our successes together, helping out people who are earlier along on their journey. It’s all fantastic. The one thing I’ve noticed is that as a community, we are really bad at giving each other advice sometimes. This was highlighted for me in a recent incident, […]
Monthly recap time! And I’m more on it than last month, since it’s only going up on the tenth! Go me. How I spent my time: I tracked more time in November than in October (114 hours vs. 90), but not as much as September or August (where I did about 125 hours each). This […]
Yikes…the latest recap yet. NaNoWriMo has been kicking my ass, y’all! But since I know you guys enjoy them, I figured better late than never. So here’s the October breakdown: How I spent my time: I tracked a lot less time than September or August in October–a 45 hour decrease. That’s about a 1/3 decrease. […]

As I’ve mentioned a time or two, I wanted to experiment with other formats of posts (including audio posts)…this is my first go at it! Let me know what you think! Do’s & Don’t’s of Delegating: the transcript Hi guys, this is Michelle Nickolaisen with Bombchelle.com and today’s audio post is about delegating. Delegating is […]
Two apps enter, one app leaves! A few weeks ago, I had a need I don’t usually have, which was to create a proposal. I figured this was the ideal time to try out a few different proposal-creating apps and compare them in a review…the results are below! (It’s worth noting going in that I […]
We’re almost halfway through October, but here’s my September recap! How I spent my time: In September, I tracked just shy of 125 hours again–pretty much the same amount of time as August (August was 124.95, September was 124.23); so this might be my new normal/average. Again, it breaks down to about 30 hours a […]
