The life of a self-employed individual is not as glamorous as social media depicts.

There’s no one to tell when to do what. Unlike a job, there’s no authority guiding you to work in a defined set of time. Being your own boss might sometimes lead you to make bad decisions that spill your schedule all over the place.

A lot of times, you’d feel you’re working round the clock, and still can’t strike off more than 1–2 items on your to-do list.

This is way worse than a job.

But you know what? You don’t deserve to be in this situation.

You took this risk to come out of your comfort zone to be vulnerable in this self-employed life to outgrow yourself. You deserve to succeed.

This is why in this article, I’m compiling a list of three amazing productivity tools to help you regain control of your time and achieve all your self-employed goals.

These tools are not just plain recommendations, but I’ve actually used them and loved the impact they created.
