How to be a freelance lounger

Enjoy the sunset, too. I want to start off by telling you what I mean by a lounger. I mean the guy sitting by the pool by noon sipping a Mai Thai.

The guy out for a ride on his motorcycle whenever the mood hits him or taking the kids out on the boat for a few hours in the middle of the day. You can be that guy! How to do that with a freelance business is the question on your mind. Organization is the answer. I write all day, well 6 hours a day actually. Who wants to work an 8 hour day anyway. The thing is, I can work from anywhere. Laptops are great. We can go on vacation and I can write during the drive. It's wasted time anyway, so take advantage of it. If you do your research ahead of time you don't have to worry about wi-fi hot spots or anything like that. I always know what I have to do that day to meet my daily income level and how many hours it will take to do that. Nothing says I have to work 6 consecutive hours. I normally work one to three hours straight and take a break with the kids and my wife then get back at it. My day may be from 8am to 11pm, but I only work 6 hours, period. You have to be organized and have the ability to do the work that you have contracted for in order to get to the point of being a freelance lounger, but everyone is capable of it. How do you deal with freelancing and family?
