# The Freelance Designer week

URL: https://gocutline.com/templates/freelance-designer-week/

A weekly schedule for freelance designers: design work from 09:00 to 12:30 every weekday, client calls Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, outreach and portfolio on Friday, and admin in one weekly block.

## Why it works
- **Long morning design blocks** match the maker's schedule.
- **Calls on two afternoons** keep the rest of the week uninterrupted.
- **Weekly outreach** keeps the next project coming before the current one ends.

## Make it yours
- Send [payment links](https://gocutline.com/features/payment-links/) from Cutline when a project is delivered.
- One big client? Give them a fixed weekly slot.

## Questions

**How do freelancers avoid feast or famine?**
Keep a small outreach block every week, even when busy. It is the block that prevents the empty month.
