Family and freelancer schedule

As a freelance writer, I have the freedom to work from home so that I'm available for my family as needed. That advantage cuts both ways though as it means sometimes I need to take off time to care for family when a client is expecting me to work. Also, there are common distractions such as the occasional request to do things that someone else could easily handle for themselves.

For this reason, I have set up my schedule so that it can accommodate my family's needs without cutting into work time. Sometimes, this means working after my daughter goes to sleep or devoting time to work when she is engaged in her studies. The important thing for me, is that I will always be there for my family when needed but can still work as much as I want.
