Freelance Island

Posted on Sep 13, 2010 in Freelance Life | 5 comments

Ok, so you have been convicted of freelance crimes. (Abusing Twitter. Not having a website. Not changing out of your PJs for two weeks. Take your pick.) The judge has been lenient in your case and sentenced you to a year on a deserted island alone to freelance.

Freelance Island

You’re being given a really nifty sun powered laptop that picks up Wi-Fi from civilization so you can continue to work. But, as an act of leniency, you are allowed one other thing to take with you to help you get your work done. What do you take?

Me? I’d take my dog. I need somebody to edit my work into something worth reading.

What the one thing you need to get your work done? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

    It would have to be a phone because sadly about half my clients are uncomfortable using their computers as a main form of communication.

      Ahh, that I can understand. You have to go where the client feels comfortable. But in my case, my business number is a Google Voice number so I can make and receives calls from my Gmail inbox. No phone needed.

    Yes, assuming I can use the computer for voice comms, my gadget of choice would be my digital voice recorder for interview recording and playback. (Although I suppose there's an online way of doing that, too.)

    Then again, how about a couple of cases of rum?

      OR how about a digital voice recorder with an extra compartment for rum? That's a decent compromise :)

    Like those old-man canes that have a flask inside them? Sounds perfect!
