Also, there are several professional answering services that you can divert your calls to as necessary. This provides a human point of contact for the client even if you’re not available.

I think the afternoon movie isn’t such a bad thing. If you treat it like a meeting, i.e. saying “Sorry I have a meeting at 1pm to 3pm” then it doesn’t sound weird.

I think the key to being a successful freelancer is moderation. Sleeping till mid-day - bad. Swapping two hours in the afternoon for a movie because it is cheaper and less crowded - good. Less stressful, better time management. That’s how I see it anyway!

On Monday I took a day off (you know public holiday etc) and I had a client sending me 5 emails trying to get hold of me and on Tuesday he wanted to know why I had a day off.

I guess freelancers do not get a chance for a holiday hey????
