Hi and happy Monday!
For a couple weeks now, I’ve been juggling grad school and work. I’m having to adjust my time management skills and figure out how much I can handle. It can be tricky!
In case you’re in a similar situation, I thought I’d share some questions that help me decide if I want to accept an assignment, pitch more, etc:
How many articles can I reasonably write a day/week? Have I met that number for this week and next?
Is the assignment a fairly easy one? (Not super long, easy-to-find experts, etc)
Is the pay good / worth it?
How has my work-life balance and mental health looked so far?
Will I have a busy week around that time otherwise, with appointments, projects, etc? Or am I more free than usual?
I’d love to hear your thoughts, too! Respond to this email or comment :)
Now, onto the writing jobs and pitch calls for paid subscribers!
(Free subscribers: Want to see that content or make sure it’s worth it before purchasing? Here’s an example of what you’ll get each week. On average, I include about 20-30 paid opps including a variety of beats, years of experience, types of writing, etc.)
