When you are afraid of something, you can’t think or act rationally. Fear of starting remote work is normal and completely understandable, so here are some tips that will help you face the fear:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) Identify the real reasons for starting your freelance journey.
Take a sheet of paper and divide it into four parts. Write down all the pros and cons of working in the office, then do the same with freelance work. Be honest with yourself and write down everything – no matter how big or small you think it is.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2) Visualize.
Let’s try a type of mini dream board. Take a paper and some old magazines. Cut out all the pictures and photos that remind you of freelancing and make you feel good about it. Arrange the images as a collage and stick them on the paper. It’s that simple!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3) Carry out a personal financial audit.
Analyze your expenses and compare them with your desires and needs. Select and download a budget planning application onto your phone to help you track your main expenses and determine the required amount of monthly earnings.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4) Make a plan.
Use mind maps for this to help you figure out all the steps that you should make to start your freelancing journey.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5) Finally, do a little research on industry statistics.
Explore Payoneer reports or other reliable statistics to feel more confident and see your prospects.

Working from home has many advantages, but it could be hard for newcomers to stay focused.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These 4 tips will help you to manage your time while freelancing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) Be clear about your working hours – set a schedule and follow it. Some apps that will help you include Todoist, TickTick, Trello, and WeDo.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2) Pretend you are not at home. Don’t chat with friends or answer phone calls that aren’t related with work. Better yet, make sure you work in an area of your home that doesn’t feel like home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3) Take frequent breaks; take 15-minute breaks every two hours and just leave the laptop. Walk, jump, eat – anything to help restart your energy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4) Block sites that will disturb you from the work process, and use Selfcontrol, RescueTime, or Productivity Owl to help you.
