Episode Three: What Do You Do When You Have Too Much Client Work?

Having too much client work sounds like a good problem to have, until you're overwhelmed, deadlines start colliding, and the quality of your work is at risk. In this episode of Think Headlight, I pull a question about freelancing from the envelope and explore the challenges of managing too many projects at once. I talk about the feast-or-famine cycle that can lead freelancers to take on more than they can handle, why pricing may be part of the problem, and what I've learned about managing workload over the years. I also share practical strategies for building a network of trusted collaborators, subcontracting work, managing overlapping projects, and communicating with clients when things get overwhelming.
