One thing you didnt mention was hiring a consultant. I dont know if they are out there, but a guy who when in full-lull yells at you like a personal trainer. "what re you doing" "you lazy designer" "one more project and your done, sissy!" You know that sort of thing. Well Lulling about wont get the job done, thanks for the atricle.

My daughter and I are both freelance designers that work in the textile industry and are used to crushing deadlines. The down times are what gets to you! She has worked for herself for 15 years and I have been at it for 30 or more but we both have experienced what you have described. If I slow down for a week it takes me at least 3-4 days of warming up to get past the first tight, stiff and usually pretty bad designs. And this has happened for 30 years! Loved your article.

The last two points especially ring true for me. I would periodically email old clients just to say hello and check in. As a result of that they decided to come back to me for work, 2 of them for project stuff and the third for long term on going work. I was also in a design lull from New Years up till now. Luckily my monthly maintenance work is enough to keep busy and cover all the bills, but I didn't have any "new" things going on. Then all of a sudden within a week I had like 5 new sites come in. Like you guys said the key is to keep forging on and it's a perfect time to get your own systems tight. Can't wait to see your new offices! Thanks, Josh Very good article!
