As a freelance graphic designer you are running your own independent business and in order to be a success at it, you need to spend your workdays more effectively. People with typical desk jobs also find it difficult to work more efficiently at times due to various reasons. Why it becomes more difficult for freelancers is indeed a good question. The reason is that freelancers have a lot of added distractions in comparison to someone who is going to office for work. As a freelancer if you will not prioritize your tasks, you won’t be able to stay in this business for a longer period.
