Episode 134: How to Respond Constructively to Customer Complaints – Interview with Sherif Abuzid
06/19/2017
I have received many questions on how to manage our time as a freelancer. It is a hot topic for all small businesses and entrepreneurs. We freelancers need to make sure we are organized and efficient in order to get things done. We do not have a boss that makes sure we are staying on track. In this episode I interview a dear friend and colleague. She has taken a course in the “Getting Things Done Methodology” and here, she is sharing how we can apply it to our freelance translation business.
Important things covered in this episode:
- Difference between GTD and other productivity methods.
- How we can use the GTD method for our freelance businesses.
- Steps in the GTD method.
- Tools to use for getting things done

I was not aware that there is a special scientific method for getting things done. We freelancers and solo-entrepreneurs are always eager to become more efficient and productive. I have previously talked about productivity and work life balance in episode 35 – Work less and do more with Stever Robbins, and in episode 34 – Simple time management tips with David Rumsey.
