Many of my traditionally employed friends are surprised when I tell them that it's challenging to stay productive as a work-at-home freelancer. They automatically assume that being in control over your schedule is a solution to the productivity dilemma they face in the cubicle world. Not so. In fact, I'd argue that having more freedom and flexibility can be a curse. Especially when your work is deadline-driven. In this episode, I talk with Erik Fisher, a productivity junkie and host of Beyond the To Do List, a podcast that focuses on productivity. Erik shares some very practical tools and ideas for getting good work done in our deadline-driven world.
