When you’re a freelancer, it never hurts to take stock of your business now and then. Some do it weekly, some monthly, some annually. How often you check your progress doesn’t really matter, as long as you do it now and then.
Some people track their income, how much they’ve invoiced in a given period, or how many new clients they’ve landed. Me? The bulk of my work involves writing articles, so I’ll be tallying my published work.
