00:13Ladies and gentlemen, now you know about the per hour price,
00:16you know about the overall project price,
00:18and you know how much time it takes to finish a project.
00:25Now the most important thing is how to manage your time as a freelancer
00:29because that is one of the biggest mistakes freelancers make.
00:33They can't manage their time, especially when they are in a group,
00:36when they get used to the freelancing,
00:38and with time they realise that it's okay, it's easy,
00:42relax, the work will be done, it will be done in the morning,
00:46the employer is doing well, I will apologise to him.
00:49And then those typical traditional Pakistani excuses
00:52that you get to hear from school,
00:55When an employer hires a freelancer, they expect the best out of them.
01:13They expect a freelancer to behave professionally.
01:17They expect the freelancer to give them the quality work based on agreed timelines.
01:24Always remember, I have said this many times, time is money.
01:30And the most important thing,
01:32with your relaxation, when an employer is put off in the name of Pakistan,
01:39then there is no coming back.
01:41You will definitely get a new project, Inshallah.
01:46The employer will be so upset in the name of Pakistan
01:50that he will not even think about returning the project to the Pakistanis.
01:56As a freelancer, I have taken so many experiences
02:02where our neighbour country's troubled employer
02:06brings us a complaint in Pakistan
02:10that we didn't get the quality, we didn't get the time commitment.
02:16And after that, all of a sudden, when there was no time commitment,
02:20my project went bad and I was also answerable to someone as a freelancer.
02:26Remember, 54 million Americans do freelancing
02:31and 54 million out of 54 million don't do freelancing themselves.
02:36What they do is, they grab the projects
02:38and then they outsource it to the freelance marketplace
02:41and there they choose the best freelancer.
02:44So, Huzoor, it is very important that you manage your time.
02:48You should be professionally equipped to complete a project on time.
02:53There are many ways to avoid time distractions.
02:57The easiest way is to keep yourself on a clock.
03:02If I have to work for three hours in the morning, afternoon, evening or night,
03:08if I have to work for three hours for a particular client on a particular project,
03:14then please, social media distraction, YouTube video distraction,
03:21instant message distractions will be avoided.
03:25It is very important to manage your time
03:27because for an employer, time is as important as the word or commitment you make to them.
03:35And if you do not fulfil that commitment,
03:38then your project becomes meaningless for the employer.
03:42In the beginning, I experienced this myself when I could not control the time.
03:49They were so angry that they said,
03:51you can keep the money but we will not come back to your country.
03:55I felt regret and shame and I decided that
04:01no matter what happens, I will keep my mouth shut.
04:06I will feel the time.
04:08Because if you lose track of time, it does not come back.
04:14You need to manage your time by following either an online software,
04:19whatever you feel best.
04:20Just google and you will find a lot of time management software.
04:24And if you do not want to use time management software,
04:28by the way, I would advise you to apply self-discipline.
04:34If you have to work for three hours, then switch off your mobile.
04:37If you are working from home, then close the door and strictly tell your family
04:44that you are answerable to your employer and you have to finish your work.
04:49Believe me, when you give someone your word and make a commitment,
04:54you are answerable to that person and you are also answerable to God.
04:58So time management is very important.
