FN-FORUM: Balancing amounts of work?

date posted 24th January 2006 12:56

So I've been doing this freelance thing for a couple of months and I'm
starting to get a bit more interest from my relentless self-publicising
ways, which is all to the good but leads me to wonder if anyone can
offer advice on balancing work and clients so that you have enough to be
getting on with but not so much that you can't possibly get it all done?

Are there any clever tricks for making sure you are working close to
capacity without running over it or is it just a case of guessing as
best you can and hoping for the best? If you have several possible
things coming up at once, how do you decide which jobs to take and which
to leave?

Thanks in advance,
