Sean, over at Position:Relative has written a very practical and readable article about the challenges faced by independent designers.
The main heads under which he has written the article are :
- Starting up is hard to do
- The bills your boss used to pay
- Too much to chew
- Shark-Infested waters
- Losing your way
- Losing your way, again
- Procrastination
- Staying Organized
- Admin
- Isolation
While it leans toward painting a gloomy picture, one thing I learned was that it is POSSIBLE for an independent designer to be doing 15 projects at one time! And I thought I was overworked!
