Get Motivation from Others
When you go from an office to working on your own, your environment changes in numerous ways. Having other people around you who are also working can encourage your brain to kick into gear. Having a house with a fridge and a bed and other things of that nature can lead to unhealthy habits.
One of the best breakthrough freelance writer productivity hacks I’ve discovered is working with others. This can be in person, for example, at a co-working space. But it can just as easily (and a lot more cheaply) be done online. For example, there are study and work livestreams on YouTube, Discord, Twitch and a multitude of other platforms.
I’ve yet to broadcast my own livestream yet, but I’ve heard that it really helps with motivation and holds you accountable. If there’s people watching us, we naturally tend to want to behave!

Start with the Hard Tasks
It’s easy to put challenging tasks off when you’re not particularly looking forward to them. Simple jobs are sometimes easier to cross off the list, leaving you with that one thing you’ve been avoiding. The trouble with this approach is that the thing you avoid tends to lurk in the back of your mind regardless.
The solution? Getting it out of the way early doors. I’ve also found that almost every task I dread never turns out to be as bad as I think it will. Once you get started on something, you’ve won half the battle.
As simple as these type of freelance writer productivity hacks might sound, they can genuinely make your days a great deal simpler.
