We break deadlines
When will this hell end? Such a question is often asked by an ordinary freelancer in everyday life. It seems that they pay normally, and the TZ is set out lucidly (not like in the past project), but still it doesn’t rush ... Already re-read the bash, vkontakte all unsubscribed, didn’t work at all, although there was nothing left to do nothing, if you gather your strength - you can finish it in two weeks ... And this is how one deadline changes to another, then the game of hide-and-seek with the customer begins, then mutual insults, bad reviews ... Familiar, isn't it?
Usually, the debriefing begins here and attention is paid to mistakes made. I suggest you look from the other side, because at first everything went well, in a short time you managed to finish almost the entire project, cut down a good amount (prepayment) and even completed it by making half of the site. BUT
what happened then? In my opinion, the answer is simple - you are out of motivation! Damn motivation! Damn her!
')
You are trying to restore motivation by reading stimulating articles, dreaming about the second part of the money, and even a week-long rest from computers in a distant village, but nothing helps.
Think about whether it is better to do prevention than to treat a lack of motivation? But how? How can you avoid this scourge?
I will try to give advice: measure, after what time from the beginning of the project, you have lost interest in him? After all, it was originally, otherwise you would not have taken on this burden. Surely this is a segment for a period from a week to a month. So why initially take a project, the development of which will take more time than you have enough motivation? And you need to take into account not only the net time of your work on the project. For example, take a customer whose design is only ready for the index page, and he promises to send the rest while you build the index page into your engine and be late for two months with mock-ups of the month, occasionally taking you on Skype to advise you how to do this ... You will definitely lose interest in this project by the time you implement the other pages and you are unlikely to pass it at all.
But where to get well-paid projects for a week or two? This was my personal goal when writing this article, to hear in the comments in what IT specialty is this possible and how
get good orders, exposing such tough conditions to the customer about the terms of employment?
