I’m an editor, not an accountant or an administrator. My job satisfaction primarily comes from helping authors deliver their messages to their readers as clearly as possible, not from crunching numbers. And I doubt many of my fellow freelance editors started their own businesses simply for the joy of budgeting and tracking their allowable expenses.
With all the spinning plates that editing and proofreading involve – plus all the COVID-related anxiety, responsibilities and cabin fever we’re dealing with right now – keeping on top of your business affairs might not be your highest priority.
Now is certainly not the time to wag a disapproving finger or put pressure on anyone to be more productive or organized. But if you find yourself wanting to think about your business’s health as a distraction from the constant conversations about physical health, the tips in this post can help you overcome the following barriers to adding regular admin check-ins to your working life.
