How do you manage time wearing so many hats as a freelancer?

There is this huge sense of overwhelm at times, but it’s important to remember what you need to get done and what you’d like to get done. So Google and many other companies have adopted an 80/20 rule. I myself like to employ this method too. Which basically says that 80% of the time you work on business stuff, 20% of the time you work on your own stuff. I use this with regards to 80% client 20% rezzz. I often ask myself: 1. What sort of impact does this have on my business? 2. Will this make an impact on my business today? next month? next year? 3. Am I already exploring another rabbit hole? That helps me in figuring out the shiny objects. The biggest takeaway for you is to understand the want vs need - if you are feeling overwhelmed with all of the things you need to do, take a step back, take a 10-min break, re-focus on what’s important for the next couple of hours and then focus on that.

Jason Resnick runs a web development and design business, and he’s heard all the questions that keep independent creators up at night. Twice a week, he opens up the inbox for Ask Rezzz, turning those real-world frustrations into practical, actionable advice. This isn't about abstract theory; it's a direct line to someone who's navigated the same tricky terrain. You'll hear Jason tackle the messy, everyday problems-like dealing with a perpetually late client, figuring out how to build a stable stream of recurring revenue, or shifting your practice to attract clients who truly value your work. The tone is straightforward and conversational, focusing on sustainable strategies over quick fixes. If you're building a creative business and find yourself feeling stuck or overwhelmed, this podcast offers a regular dose of clarity from someone who gets it. Each episode feels like a focused coaching session, designed to help you move past the hurdles and grow a business that respects your time and expertise.
