NameDate

Work through each step on paper or on screen. Use a real business, a project of your own or a friend’s idea. Keep this page for your portfolio.

1List your personal warning signs.

2Schedule breaks and one full day off each week.

3Write a limit on how much work you will accept.

Worked example to compare with: Setting a workload limit

  • Situation: a freelancer takes every project offered and works weekends.
  • Signs: two missed deadlines in a month and trouble sleeping.
  • Plan: limit active projects to five, take Sundays off, and tell clients new timelines honestly.
  • Result to look for: fewer rushed deliveries and a steadier week.
  • Takeaway: a limit is a professional promise to do good work, not a lack of ambition.
