2. Still busy?
Christmas is just around the corner, with as little as a couple of
days to go. Most freelancers have probably been too busy
getting gifts for their relatives and friends. Between that and
work, because even during the holidays there is something to
do, you probably didn’t get the chance to think about what you
actually want for Christmas. For those of you who are getting
gift-cards or would just like to buy something for themselves as
a reward for sticking to freelancing for another year, we
comprised a Christmas list for freelancers. Here are the top 4
things the self-employed want most!

3. 1) The latest Silicon Valley gadgets
First one on the list is all that techy stuff that looks oh so shiny
and pretty, but sometimes you just can’t afford it all. Maybe
you’re an Apple fan and still haven’t gotten your hands on that
amazing new iPad Air or the iPhone 5S. If you’re looking for a
budget smartphone, the Moto G has gotten amazing all-round
reviews and it only costs $179. Or is it time to finally get that
dual screen setup you’ve been thinking about. Trust me, working
with two screens can make your life much easier. Or do you
really want an eBook reader? Whatever gadget your heart might
desire, if it’s helpful for your work and you wouldn’t otherwise
buy it, it's the perfect present for a happy freelancer Christmas.

4. 2) Newer software
Like with the latest gadgets, there are so many great software
tools which can really help a freelancer’s career. For those of
you who work on video editing, recording software like Camtasia
Studio is definitely a program you should look into. It does cost a
ton, but has plenty of features as well. Or, maybe a time
management app is what you really need. If you feel like you’re
always lagging behind with your work, consider time
management tools as a possibility, there are lots of great ones
out there. Is invoicing a pain? There’s software for that too!
Whether it is something fancy like speech recognition or just a
simple Microsoft Office update, getting new software tools is
essential for any freelancer.

5. 3) More clients
Now there’s something almost any freelancer wishes for when
looking forward to the New Year – clients. And not just any
clients, but the ones that treat you respectfully, pay on time and
actually give you amazing projects, which not only benefit you
financially, but allow you to do better yourself as well. I wish you
such clients from all my heart and there are some steps you as a
freelancer can take, in order to make that happen.

6. 4) Time
And last but not least, something anyone wishes for - having
more time. For freelancers, in particular, it is extremely
important to master the skill of time management. Make sure to
always plan two steps ahead and keep your deadlines. This will
not only make your life less stressful, but is sure to earn you the
trust of your employers as well. But time shouldn’t only be spent
on working. Make sure you give yourself the free time you need
to remain creative and motivated. Dedicate some of your free
time to your family and friends as well.
On behalf of the entire freelancermap team, I wish you all to have a truly
great Christmas, surrounded by the ones dearest to your heart!
