The 10 Commandments of freelance designer

Working as a freelance designer is a creative career path that many choose to take, because if it is true that not all a bed of roses, is not without certain advantages. And while this is true, make no mistake and idealize the situation, because if we do not have for example, the constant pressure of a boss, or a rigid schedule to follow, this does not mean we do not have to be absolutely responsible to our client , or force us to fulfill certain times, if we want both our work and our personal lives have some stability. And at home, there are many temptations around you and that can lead to fall in distraction. To help in your day to day does not lose sight of the 10 commandments that every freelance designer should always bear in mind: 1. Love your work on everything. Safely have good times and others are not so much, stay strong and positive always try to see the good in everything and learn from your mistakes, but one thing is clear, you can only overcome the problems you encounter on the road If the design is really your passion. 2. Thou shalt not take the customer's name in vain. Each customer is now your boss, so you should treat it as such, be serious and professional, always meets the deadlines to which you have committed, and try to adapt, as far as possible to your requirements, taking into account He also expects that you as professional as you advise.   3. Sanctify the holidays. When you work from home is easy to lose track of time or even often do not know neither the day in which you live, flee from this habit. Try to work subject to a time and above all respects the holidays to relax, it is clear that there will be exceptions, but these exceptions do not become the norm.   4. Honor your father and your mother ... and by extension family and friends. Your mother, your father, your wife, children, brother, sister, dog, cat, hamster ... are a key part in your life, and as such you should take care, however do not let them invade your space or working time. When you're working at home, many will think that you are available all day, handles this if you want to be constantly interrupted and lose much time.   5. Do not kill your creativity going on for hours watching television. It is very easy to say you need 5 minutes to rest, lie on the couch in front of the TV and that they become 5 minutes in 5 hours! It is important to rest frequently, but perhaps television, couch and the cushions are not the best option.   6. Do not commit impure acts. Stay away from the fridge! With the refrigerator at your fingertips, you can continually tempted, on the contrary there are people who completely forgets to eat. Set your meal times and try to meet them, is essential.   7. Do not aislarás. Do not think that reading the news online or communicate with your friends on Facebook is enough. You will spend many hours at home, so you have to force yourself to go out, have a coffee with friends, walking the dog ... ultimately distracting.   8. You shall not bear false witness or lie to her. It's okay to try to sell you the best possible way, but do not lie about your skills. If you do, you end up having a hard time unnecessarily.   9. Not suffer further unhealthy habits. Do not give up, a daily shower is never over, eat healthy, try to exercise and rest the hours needed. As they said in ancient Rome "mens sana in corpore sano" (a staple).   10. Do not covet the designs of others. It has not always be in your best creative moments, so there will be times that your designs are brilliant and some not so. Do not look for the solution trying to copy designs of others, but always looking for inspiration to find your own creative line, plagiarism, is not well ;)
