Balancing multiple projects has been a tough ride. I often find myself either underpricing my work or facing tight deadlines because I’m trying to juggle everything at once.
Right now, I’m delivering on a web design, content writing, and logo creation simultaneously. It’s a struggle to keep my pricing fair and manage my time effectively.
Schedule the easiest stuff first. Get quick wins done so you have fewer things floating around.
Set your rates per project type first, then stick to them. Web design gets X hours at Y rate, logo work gets Z hours at different rate. Don’t bundle everything together or you’ll lose track of what pays what.
I block time for each project during the week. Monday and Tuesday for web stuff, Wednesday for logos, Thursday and Friday for writing. Clients get their delivery dates based on this schedule, not when they think they need it.
Price each project separately and add buffer time to every deadline you give clients. When I quote multiple jobs, I always calculate them individually first, then see if my schedule can handle the workload.
If you’re already committed to tight deadlines, be honest with clients about realistic delivery dates. Better to extend a deadline now than deliver poor work later because you’re rushing.
I just do one job at a time mostly.
