Time management
I have had the good fortune to be working steadily for the past few weeks. While I am very thankful and happy I am realizing that I have to learn how to manage my time more wisely. It is difficult at times when I have to work my other job (which has odd hours). I have started to print out the document that I am working on and bringing it to work so when I do get a little "down" time I can at least read it over again and get a good "gist" translation going. Not wanting to call in at my job it is essential to find extra time to work on a translation. Sometimes I get up earlier in the morning. If you have your coffee and favorite newspaper or magazine, how about the document instead? Have an app or access to the internet on your phone to save time in case you have a question about the text or need to enquire about a particular word or phrase when not near a computer (at my job for example). You would be surprised at how much time this saves as opposed to having to wait until you are at the nearest computer. Little time saving tips are necessary when not yet doing translation full time and working other jobs.
