I think for me it might be more important to actually clear away and get rid of clutter - once I'm more organised I'm much more productive!

Did it all through college and that was one of the most productive times of my life. @Lasse - Hmmm...you've made some odd assumptions here. I never said I was unmotivated...that's not really a word that fits me too well :) And if you can find someone to pay me to rock climb, and someone else to pay me while I sit on my ass and read Terry Pratchett novels...send them my way. @Mister M - Thanks much! I appreciate it, and am glad you liked. @Dave - That’s an awesome setup! Did it all through college and that was one of the most productive times of my life.

Freelancing isn't always easy (especially the motivational part, no matter how skilled you are), but once you get some grip on finding that balance on how to combine the pleasant with the necessary, it can make all the difference. This article is exactly about all of that. Great article! As a freelancer i can say that this post is so spot on it put a smile on my face, a joyful smile of recognition.

If you can't motivate yourself by the work in hand, then maybe you're in the wrong line of business? Maybe you should bet on a carrier where you can play guitar or go rock climbing all day? Do what you love. That's why I design websites. I think your advice on “targets” is a bit off. If you can’t motivate yourself by the work in hand, then maybe you’re in the wrong line of business?

Combined with the fact that all I do is sleep, eat and design, and watch football on the weekends, it's ideal to just have one large room with an artists table on one of the room, a computer and a printer on the other side. It's a matter of privledge for me, really. This is actually the reason I plan to sell almost everything I have and move into a studio apartment.
