We’re left with a few days before 2016 ends. It’s a good time to look back and see how the year went but after reminiscing, it’s time to prepare for 2017.
I believe in starting early so since November, I met with business partners to plan for the coming year. I’ve met with Manila Workshops under Ginger Arboleda as well as partners for speaking engagements. From the looks of it, 2017 will be a busy and productive year.
Like most freelancers, I meet with different clients and the last thing I want to happen is to double book appointments or to attend meetings unprepared. To manage my schedule, I’ve always used my trusted offline planners and monthly calendars but whenever I am on the go, I need something that I can access anytime, anywhere. In this episode, I’ll share my go-to tools for scheduling and setting appointments, business engagements, and workshops. The combination of Google Calendar and Calendly keeps my schedule on track and makes it easily shareable with others.
As for Freelance Blend, we will hit the ground running with the first two events on my list for January: Emerging Social Media Workshop and Creative + Entreps Mixer. Visit the links provided below for more information.
How about you? What do you have in mind for 2017? Don’t treat the last few weeks of the year as written off. Continue to work on improving yourself and your skills. Don’t wait for things to happen. Start making things happen.
