A few recommendations from someone who worked as a freelance software engineer for about 4 years:

#Upwork

1. Dialogue: Ask a client about tech/project you are applying for in the first sentence/paragraph. Customers often want to talk about their problems, not about you/them. 2. Don't try to dump the price artificially. It just doesn't work.

It's the most intuitive way to get the job, but it just doesn't work well.

I've recently re-discovered a note-taking method called Zettelkasten.

I've spent about ten hours re-writing the third part of my notes into the new system.

The system will allow me to browse through the collection of my ideas and independent but interconnected thoughts. Image I decided to use zettelkasten because I already felt like I'm drowning in my notes. I had a bunch in GitBook, a lot of notes in txt files, some stuff in my paper and Todoist.

But what's the point of writing them if I can't find anything? Zettelkasten will become my second brain.
