Yes, usually in early January, to clients who worked with me in 2024, to wish them a happy new year and thank them for working with me. This usually leads to them responding saying oh, yes, I have work for you, although that's not actually my intention! 😂 #ACESChat

A10: It's mostly recovering from jet lag (we're now in LA, so it's a 9h time difference with Kraków). Jet lag with a toddler is... not a walk in the park. But he goes back to daycare fairly quickly (with extra naps there if needed) so I plan to take it easy for a few days and take naps. #ACESChat

A9: I let them know in advance that rates are going up per January 1 and offer them the opportunity to book me at the old rate in the first months of the new year. #ACESChat

A7c: I have a small Notes file with about three subheadings: outstanding invoices, invoices to be created, current jobs and their deadlines and upcoming jobs. I don't do spreadsheets or anything like that. I can't read them. But one look at this note file and I know how available I am #ACESChat

A7b: My husband also travels a lot for work, and we travel a lot as a family (i.e.: no daycare), so we try to plan and juggle everything as far in advance as possible. We also plan solo trips for me. So if a client contacts me I usually have a reliable idea of how available I am. #ACESChat

A7a: I know from now how many words I can realistically edit per day, and everything is based on that. I've gotten faster over the years for sure. I have a toddler now so we have year-round daycare, but with the illnesses I think he was home 50% of the time the first year! It's better now. #ACESChat
